Yes, I am fundraising for my Relay For Life team, Extinction! I would really appreciate any donations that come my way, because I am a terrible fundraiser, but I really want to contribute to the American Cancer Society's cause.
More about my team...
Our team apparently broke up, so now I am with Stand Up to Cancer. >.>
Team members (This probably isn't accurate, because I have no idea who went with the other part of our team.):
Vi Bui (Team Captain)
Rebecca Cooke
Kathleen Craig
Marly DuMay
Liam Finerman
Christina Fisher
Patricia Jorgensen
Brianna Lavelle
Jose Sada-Moore
Amber Swartz (That's me!)
Kierra Whitehead
Goals
Team goal: $3000
My goal: $100 47/100
But why stop at $100? The more I get, the better!
(The little thermometer on my donation page isn't accurate because I have not submitted the money to the website, so don't rely on that to tell you how much I have made.)
Why Donate?
Many people have been touched by losing a family member to some form of cancer or have lost their life to this horrible disease. Extinction, and many other Relay For Life teams, are raising money for cancer research to, hopefully soon, find a cure for cancer. There is no feeling more impowering than that that comes with joining the fight against cancer, whether it be with just a small donation, or by joining a team. Every little bit counts, so please don't hesitate to help out!
Why Do I Do It?
- I have lost some family members to cancer.
- Breast cancer runs on my mom's side of the family. Hopefully it will not get to my mom, sister, or me.
- My dad has a growth in his lung, we don't know if it is cancerous or not.
- It just feels so awesome to take part in this event and help to bring an end to cancer!
- I'm going to be honest, it's also to work up volunteer hours for the National Honors Society, which I desperately need. ^_^;
