Hey Everyone!
This year I am participating at my Relay for Life at Syracuse University! For the past two years I have been wanting to go to Syracuse for Fashion Design, it was my dream school and I made it here! I absolutely love school. Since being here I have joined a sorority, my club gymnastics team, taken a dance class (I have my show coming up next week!) and joined the Relay for Life committee. My friends and I have started a team and now I need your help!
Ever since being diagnosed with cancer I have learned more than I could ever imagine. I have lost so many friends to this battle and with each one it does not get easier. I am very fortunate to have made it through chemo and radiation and now it is my goal to spread cancer awareness and raise money for research.
Over the summer I was introduced to a girl through a mutual friend who had non-hodgkin's lymphoma and was going to be a freshman at Syracuse as well! We became friends grabbing dinner here and there just to talk about cancer stuff. We both were on the committee for Relay and she finished her treatment and was cancer free in December right before the first semester ended. We weren't even back a week into second semester when she texted me that she had relapsed and would have to take the second semester off to get treatment. I would be heartbroken if I was ever told that I needed to leave Syracuse to get more nasty treatment. We planned to walk the survivor lap together this year, and unfortunately I will have to do it alone. This year I relay for my friend Heather as well as all of those I have lost and those that I have become friends with because of cancer. I hope that next year Heather and I will walk the survivor lap together as we planned. Relay is only 10 days away! Please donate and help find a cure to cancer. Your dollar could be the dollar that finds the cure. Here's the link!
