Time For A Cure

~WoW~
Here we are, 2012 all ready
and like clock work
just like the last 7 years
another season of Relay For Life of Second Life is in the planning!

As you may all ready know, this years RFLofSL season of "Time For A Cure" runs from March 10th, 2012 to July 14th, 2012, and I am REALLY EXCITED that I have been given the role of Co-Chair of PR and Media Relations for RFLofSL.

And I'm also SUPER EXCITED to be working with Lyr Lobo, this year's PR and Media Relations Area Chair.

In the coming weeks and months, I hope to keeping you up to date in our progress working towards Kick Off Weekend, giving links and sources of information for you to follow, join us, and or, contribute with your stories and donations, to this worthy effort taking place all around the real world and in the digital landscape, all bound by the same goal, to cure cancer.

My "Why I Relay" is much like every one's; father touch by cancer, fought and won his battle 20 year on! YaY! But I have lost many aunts and uncles, cousins, life long friends, and ones I just met, friend's fathers, mother, sister, brother, sons and daughters to this wicked beast. No seriously, I am out of fingers and toes for those wonderful souls, cancer took from me.

Breast cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, and the one that breaks my heart the worst, childhood leukemia.

So, because of Cancer I fight
With Relay, I fight for everyone I know
With Relay, I fight for everyone I will someday meet
With Relay, I fight for everyone I will never get a chance to meet
With Relay, I fight for more birthdays for everyone
With Relay, I fight with HOPE
I fight with Relay for Life of Second Life for all of them
Past, Present and Future
