Due to the current forecast…A Note on RAIN…

Relay For Life symbolizes that cancer never sleeps so neither will we!Cancer does not care who it affects, what they are trying to accomplish in life, who needs them, etc. It is not convenient for a cancer patient to have cancer ever. Let’s not let the inconvenience of rain keep anyone away. Please come out rain or shine and support those we love!! Bring a poncho and rain boots, we’ll bring the fun!!

“Life is not about about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the

rain”
