newspaper article

Hi, I'm a writer for our school Newspaper in Holland, Michigan. I'm going to do an article around Relay for Life. I did relay last year, and I know it's a great activity. I really want to get more students involved in it. After talking to my teacher we found the best way to publicize it would be to get a personal story from a cancer surviver. I'd love to hear from one of you! It'd be best if you received money from Relay-if there is any way of knowing that, i'm not even sure. I'll need the story as soon as possible. Please e-mail me at whitney_beard@hotmail.com if you are interested. And just put "newspaper article" in the subject line, or something along those lines. That way I can get back to you on what I'd like to include. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all so much, and God bless.
