Calling all Superheroes

On Tuesday January 23rd, we held New Fairfield’s Relay For Life
kick-off event. Relay For Life committee members, American Cancer
Society staff, and the public got together to start an amazing journey.
One to raise funds, support our community and put an end to cancer.
Guests at the event were able to participate in games and raffles, as
well as help themselves to any Relay flyers and snacks all while
learning how to end cancer once and for all!
We took the
opportunity at kick-off to discuss why we relay and what Relay For Life
means to us. Everyone has been touched by cancer in some way. Whether it
has been a family member, or a close friend. We know there is nothing
more devastating than finding out you, or someone you know, has cancer. I
unfortunately lost an aunt a few years ago to Ovarian cancer. The
cancer she was diagnosed with shortened her lifespan at least 20 years. A
couple months ago I attended a funeral for my cousins mother who died
at the age of 53 due to cancer. No one should ever have to hear the
words “You Have Cancer”, but there is hope! Thanks to each and every one
of you participating in our annual event, more money can be raised for
research, and less people will suffer as the years go by. More money can
be raised to provide rides, treatment plans, wigs and support while
they fight for their life. More money and awareness so one day no one
will hear the words “You Have Cancer.” Let’s fight back together to end
this terrible disease once and for all!
