Relay for Life and American Cancer Society

GIVEAWAY!!

By Melissa Hunt-Wenndt January 31, 2013
More than 1 million people in the U.S. hear those dreaded words each year. Those three little words that can turn your life upside down and change it forever… “You have cancer.”
Relay for Life and American Cancer Society walk for one night… for one cause… to find a cure. Over the course of 100 years American Cancer Society has funded research projects to help find a cure. And it is time to celebrate! According to the American Cancer Society, “A new report shows that the decline in cancer mortality has reached 20%, translating to the avoidance of about 1.2 million deaths from cancer since 1991. That's more than 400 lives saved per day!”

Join Organo Gold Eastern Iowa and Macaroni Kid CR/IC… take time to support Relay for Life Linn County. Whether you are a survivor, a caregiver, or someone who wants to make a difference… it is time to fight back.
Relay for Life Linn County is sponsoring a Giveaway! Leave a comment below and you will be entered to win a cooler full of goodies valued at over $65!

Relay For Life is ACS’s signature event. It offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of ten to thirty people (friends, co-workers, family) stay overnight and take turns walking around the track, some even run! In twenty three years, the event has been held in Linn County and over $3.8 million dollars has been donated to support cancer survivors.
