Hi everyone, Hopefully I will be photographing our Relay For Life team while we participate at Tabcorp Park, Melton, Victoria on Feb 22, 2014 starting at 4:00 PM.
I’m still sick at the moment so it might be a bit quiet at least until later this week.
It would be great to see people there and fantastic if we could get to our team’s fundraising goal! We’re nearly half way towards our goal!
Melissa’s mum Vicki, who our relay team is in honour of and named – “Vicki’s Dream Team”, has been re-diagnosed with terminal cancer prior to already having uterine cancer. She is now terminally ill after having cancer return very aggressively and not responding to chemotherapy. Unfortunately, she has been told she only has now much, much less than one month to live. (Melissa is my wife, Vicki is my mother-in-law) We’ve been great friends virtually since Melissa and I met back in Grade 4, and this is a very hard time for Melissa, her and my families.
Relay For Life is an overnight, community event where teams of 10 or more keep a baton moving in a relay-style walk or run to raise funds for the Cancer Council. The event brings the whole community together for a night of fun, entertainment, celebration and remembrance.
Every dollar raised at Relay For Life helps the Cancer Council to:
• Investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers
• Educate people in your community about ways they can reduce their cancer risk
• Advocate for cancer control
• Support people during their times of greatest need.
