Relay for Life

Once again this spring my fraternity from RPI has chosen to participate in the Relay for Life. It's an incredible event that raises a healthy amount of money each year for the American Cancer Society.

Most of you know that last year my family, friends, and I participated in the relay, and it was great to see everyone staying up through the night to support the event, and survivors like me. This event was a major milestone for me personally, since I was only about 8 weeks post-transplant, and it was my first encounter with a crowd of any kind. I was able to make it through the night without catching any colds, or fevers, and it was a great time. I also felt very honored by the incredible support from my family, friends, and the current actives, all of which made appearances (and extremely generous donations).

I'm hoping we can show our generosity and donate a little money to help them reach their goal of raising $16,000 by April 19th. I know the economy sucks right now, and I'm poor as hell too, but a large donation isn't necessary just a couple of bucks to show you care.
