Let me get back to you as the date gets closer. I'll need to get some more information but having lost a father, a brother, and aunt and uncle and many, many friends to cancer, I would like to participate. Thanks, Jack.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

That would be great. And I am sorry to hear how much cancer has taking away from you. They are now with god and no more pain. My aunt passed and my mom is a 10 year survivor. I thank god for that everyday. And thank you for responding.

Dave, I didn't know about your wife, but I am so happy to know she is a 12 year survivor. You know it's funny, but my wife, Ann, is a cancer survivor as well. She was diagnosised, several years ago, with melanoma and had two surgeries for it and it was touch and go for like three years. I try never to think of that because it scares me so. Two years ago this June, we lost a very close friend, had just turned 60, from melanoma they thought was cured and my fear came back. I put it in the back of my mind and surpress it until someone mentions something like this. Ann and I are fortunate. Thanks for sharing, Dave.

It is always nice to hear about survivor's. My wife mother was a three time survivor and she never gave up . Intel god called her home. And we are out there trying to raise money to find a cure so people don't have to suffer through cancer. And I hope in my life time we find a cure. When you go to a relay and see the survivors walking the track and the smile on there face because they are there to make that lap. It is a felling that makes you want to keep on raising money to help beat cancer. We had a guy that I never got the chance to meet and wish I did. But all he wanted was to do was the survivors lap. And he came to the relay in his bed from the hospital and was pushed around the track. He fault cancer for over a year. And he ended up passing away a few days later . But he told his wife I did that lap because I want to let people know to never give up . He was in his 30's or 40's . But he had ever person out there clapping for him. And he inspired me to fight even more. Sorry this letter is so long but relay is a big part of my family life and if I can get someone to help beat this disease. And get one more survivor on that track I feel like I done what god put me here for. Thank you for listening.
