Help Us Fight Cancer

On Friday, July 27, Susan and the girls and I will join a local team in the SW ND Relay for Life at Whitney Stadium in Dickinson. The American Cancer Society sponsors Relay for Life events in local communities across the nation as fun, team-oriented ways to raise money for continued research to treat and cure cancer. With as many family and friends of ours who have fought and/or survived cancer, Susan and I are happy to participate in our community's Relay.

We'll be walking the track (others will be running; both are acceptable); at least one member of the team must be on the track at all times, and the event runs from 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.! At dusk they will light the luminaria to create a hauntingly beautiful border for the track and to remind everyone of the people we know affected by cancer--our reasons for being there and caring so much about this cause.

Would you be willing to donate money to this cause? If so, choose one of these options:

1. Go to this Web site and click on "Make a General Donation" in the sidebar to the left. OR
2. Write a check to "American Cancer Society" and mail it to us. If you need our mailing address, e-mail me, and I'll provide it to you.

If you'd like to dedicate a luminary in honor of a cancer survivor or in memory of a cancer fighter, choose the "write a check" option and let us know whose name to put on the luminary and whether it is "in honor of" or "in memory of." Each luminary is $10.

E-mail me, too, if you have any questions about the event or about donating. And thank you for your support.
