My daughter for Relay for Life

As many of you know, my husband passed away last year. He had Stage IV Lung cancer. My oldest, Alex, has been doing Relay for a while. Please check out her pages and pass along to anyone you care. Thank you so much for your time .

Sincerely,

Lydia

My Reason to Relay

June 2011 will be my sixth Relay for Life! I relay for my father, who passed away in May 2010 from lung cancer, my friend Michael who was only 19 years old when he passed away in 2005 from brain cancer, and everyone else who has been affected by this terrible disease.

Please make a donation to the American Cancer Society to help us all live in a world with less cancer. Everyone has been affected in some way, whether you: have or had it, were a caregiver, knew someone with it, or even had a friend who knew someone with it. Your donation no matter how small can help so many people! Won't you please donate today?!

THANK YOU!

- Alex

This year, over 1.4 million Americans will hear the words ‘You have cancer’. I know too many people who are touched by cancer, and that is why I have joined the American Cancer Society on a mission to save lives and create a world with more birthdays by participating in the Relay For Life in my community. At Relay For Life we celebrate loved ones who have won their battle against cancer, remember those who are no longer with us, and fight back against this disease that touches so many. I am determined to make a difference, and I hope you will join me. I will be walking on Saturday, June 11, 2011 at Sherwood High School in Olney, Maryland. Please, support me in my efforts by using the link below to visit my personal web page and make a donation. Every dollar raised brings us one dollar closer to a cure, and to a time when the number of people who have to hear the words “you have cancer” is zero. Thank you so much for your support. Together, we ARE saving lives and creating a world with more birthdays! Thank you for your donation, no matter how small! - Alex Click here to visit my PERSONAL page.

So my daughter, Alex, along with her team including sister, good friends, boyfriend, had great results last month at her Alma-Mater's hosting of Relay for Life benefitting the American Cancer Society.

"Here is some info from the Towson Relay and some info about the upcoming Relay in Olney I am participating in through the Club(her work).

From Friday, March 27th to Saturday, March 28, Towson University hosted its 2nd Annual Relay for Life benefitting the American Cancer Society. Towson University raised a total of $50,526.96, and that number will continue to climb until August of this year. 

As a team captain this year, I was very proud of my team, "Hooked on Hope", who out of 72 teams , came in 3rd place OVERALL raising over our $2000.00 goal with $2858.21. Out of 794 participants I came in 2nd place overall for individual fundraising with a total of $1,130. 

The "Hooked on Hope" campsite came in 3rd place overall, with the rankings coming from the survivors who attended Relay for Life. I would like to thank all of my team members and everyone who donated to this great cause. The event was a success and a lot of fun.

I will be participating in another Relay for Life, Saturday, May 30 to Sunday, May 31 with team members from where I work, the Aspen Hill Club. This Relay for Life is being held in Olney, Maryland at Sherwood High School. If you would like to donate on behalf of myself or the Aspen Hill Club, please visit the Relay for LIfe website at:  http://main.acsevents.org/goto/alexag for my page and http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09S/team_id=404733&pg=team&fr-id=12808 for the Aspen Hill Club's team page.

A Message from my Daughter....

Mike & Alex in HS-good friends
Alex & Dad
My newly graduated daughter , Alexandra, is a team captain this year from Towson Univ. for the American Cancer Society's  Relay for Life. She says...

"I want to invite you to join me in the fight against cancer by making a donation in support of my efforts."   ............

"My Reason to Relay

I relay for my dad, who was diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2006.At that point it had spread to his brain and he had to have surgery. For a long time he went through the standard radiation and chemo sessions. He had been in remission once, but the cancer came back. As of right now he is off radiation and chemo treatments and is on a natural medicine that has drastically improved his condition, although he still battles with the lung cancer.

Along with my father and many family members who have passed, I relay for my friend Michael P. who passed away in 2005 from brain cancer. Mike was one of my good friends in high school and an all around great guy who will always be missed.

I am joining people around the world....
