great article!
Great organization, incredibly noble and worthy cause.
Relay for Life can be a ton of fun for a really worthwhile cause. Thanks for the info; hope Parker can raise some serious money!
That's amazing. Everyone involved should be congratulated for their efforts - fund-raising and otherwise. Getting rid of cancer - what a vision.
Relay for Life is such a good cause to support. Our Sunday school class just recently donated items to auction and raise money for it.
