ARE YOU READY TO RELAY?

I wanted to take just a minute to introduce myself to you and see if there is anything, in particular, that you'd like to see and hear about for the Columbus County 2009 Relay For Life event. First off I need to tell you that I've never started my own blog before, but I have responded to a few. I'm one of many, in this county, that volunteer year after year to take up the fight against cancer. I believe that one day we will find a cure, and I believe that one day is just around the corner! We are making strides each and every day toward that goal and we're doing it with the help of all the great friends and neighbors right here at home!

I attended the "Relay For Life Kick-Off" tonight at Southeastern Community College and while there were lots of faces that I remembered seeing over the past few years, there were a few new ones there too. We shared some good food, heard a few words about our Honorary Child Chair Colby Byrd from his mother Hope, reminisced about the 2008 Relay through a picture show, and learned a few new things about what is in store for the 25th Anniversary of Relay. Speaking of faces.....we need new faces...we need old faces....we need your support! We need to know what you'd like to see at Relay? Is there a special fund raising event idea that you have? Do you know of any entertainers that might like to perform? Are you a new team to Relay? Do you need help with Registration? Do you want information on how to be a Corporate Sponsor? Do you know of any Cancer Survivors that might not know about Relay or participate in the Survivors special ceremony during Relay? If you have questions or comments, we want to hear form you.

So let me ask you Columbus County.........Are YOU ready to Relay? Come out and show your support for the Columbus County Relay this year on April 24th and 25th at Southeastern Community College.
