Relay for Life

Hello friends and family-

Our friends Mark and Terri have decided to do the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. (Pictured here with their two sons, Edward and Colin.) They are forming a team in the Philadelphia area. The team is called "Jim's Corner Men". For those of you that aren't familiar with boxing, the guys in the boxer's corner that help him out between rounds are called his corner men.

Mark and Terri made a webpage for donations, sponsors, and team members. The address is www.acsevents.org/relay/pa/wissahickonvalley/markekelly
if you are interested in sponsoring them or walking.

Terri had a great description - this is their "virtual support" - since they can't be here with us in Wisconsin to cook meals, babysit, or sit with Jim during chemo, they decided that this is a great way to support Jim and the overall cause. I agree!

Our new friend Dave, a local colon cancer survivor who has been very kind to us, organizes a team for our local Relay for Life, but unfortunately it falls on a weekend that we'll be in Rochester for Jim's 20th high school reunion, so we're going to miss it. Either one or both of us is going to try and make it to the walk in Philly. I think it would be great for us to be there.

This is a no-obligation post. This is in no way a push for anyone to donate - we just thought it would be a good way to get the word out. So don't feel obligated....I won't even know if you read the blog and decide not to donate. ;)
