San Bruno CA: RELAY FOR LIFE San Bruno 2015 Has Begun!

San Bruno CA: April 25th & 26th 2015 - RELAY FOR LIFE San Bruno - Get Involved

American Cancer Society’s MISSION Statement

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service,

Why I Participate in a Relay For Life Event:
I participate because I know that by raising funds and walking in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, I will help save lives from cancer.

It’s overwhelming to think that millions of people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. It might be someone close to us – or you or me...

A Relay For Life event is not only a way to join my community to fight back against cancer, but it is also a way to inspire hope by raising funds and cancer awareness to help those facing the disease.

Why I’m Fundraising:
Relay participants, including me, all raise funds because we’ve been affected by cancer in some way and because a Relay For Life event gives us the power to fight back. This is my opportunity to honor the cancer survivors in my life, remember friends and family I have lost, and help raise funds to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission.

Why I Support the American Cancer Society:
Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of cancer or find it early, when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services to cancer patients throughout their journey. The organization is investing in crucial research to prevent, treat, and ultimately, cure all cancers.

I have signed up to fundraise and walk in my local Relay For Life event.
