Relay For Life



Recommended Posts

i know that some may find it inappropriate for me to post this here, however, i think that regardless of where the contributions come from, its all for a GREAT purpose!

i'm walking in the bay area RELAY FOR LIFE this weekend from 7pm on Friday until 8am Saturday morning. All donations benefit the American Cancer Society.

I have met and exceeded the "suggested" personal walker goal of $100, however, my Team (Second Baptist - Highlands) has not met our goal of $1000. We're a small but growing church located in a small but growing town.

if you would like to make an online donation please follow the below link to my site. thank you and i apologize in advanced to anyone who may find this thread inappropriate bc i'm asking for monetary donations. IT IS FOR A GREAT CANCER FIGHTING CAUSE, and that is the only reason that I decided to post it here.

xoxo, Christie

I want to wish you lots of great luck!! We are having our own Relay in May and I'll be donating to that.

I was our team's captain (gave that up last year) for 7 years and our team has won 1st place for 5 of the last 8. My team is a church team too! We're hoping to raise enough to break the $100,000 mark for the total giving of all the years we've been involved. What amazes me is that we aren't a large church! In fact our Relay event is one of the highest raising events of our (small) size in California.

I cry every year and I always tell myself I won't! Every year the event hits home for me in a different way. I've never had cancer but one of my good friends is in treatment now. She's doing okay now but we were afraid we were going to lose her last month. We still could but the tests are coming back positive. We'll take what we can.

Many, many blessings on your event. I hope it is the most successful one you've ever had!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
