A way to form a community of support and awareness

Hi! I am the chairperson of the Cook College Relay for Life at Rutgers University in NJ... We began this event in 2002 and it has a special meaning to me. I decided to start a RFL at my school beacuse my grandfather is a 10 year survivor of prostate cancer and I wanted to raise awareness on campus as well as raise money for ACS programs. This year our event is on April 16th and we are in desperate need of Survivors to attend. I think it would be very powerful and moving to have more survivors share personal stories and boost motivation at our event. I think it would also be nice for you all to see the kind of support that our community offers to survivors. We are here for you and we would like to honor you and your fight through our relay. I would appreciate it if anyone who is interested in our event would respond. Not only is it a great cause, but its a lot of fun too, the perfect thing to raise your spirits and to connect with others whose lives have been touched by this disease. Thanks so much for your time!
