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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
