Check out the Relay For Life of Henrietta website at www.RelayForLife.org/henriettany Picture here I Relay because I've seen friends and loved ones suffer from cancer, and some have not survived their awful battle. I don't want to see my loved ones suffer. Slide 4 Why Do You Relay? WHATS YOUR REASON TO RELAY? Mark you calendar for SATURDAY, MAY 14, and join the fight! Check out the Relay For Life of Henrietta website at www.RelayForLife.org/henriettany Picture here I Relay in honor of my father, Bob Strohmeyer. He was a hard working man all his life, and not only was he a great Dad, he was a great friend to all who knew him. In his younger days, he worked as a Laborer doing construction in which they installed a building material called asbestos. Little did we know that over 40 years later, he would develop Mesothelioma lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. He fought a valiant battle, but unfortunately it took his life in March of 2008. My husband Tizo got involved in Relay for Life and encouraged me to attend a Committee Meeting. From that day on I was hooked on Relay! I felt like I was doing something positive to take away some of the sadness of losing my Dad to cancer. After my first Relay, I drove home thinking about how I may have lost my father (who was such a big part of our family), but I now have a much bigger Relay family! If what Im doing today will help someone else to either prolong their life or totally beat cancer, then I will gladly do whatever I can to make that happen. Join us in the Fight support Relay for Life! But I warn you once you experience Relay, you will never be the same! Slide 5 Why Do You Relay? WHATS YOUR REASON TO RELAY?
