Relay for Life Cancer Charity Walk


Through my years as a Riverside resident, I have been blessed to be a part of so many organizations and I always look back on these years with fond memories. I have organized sport banquets, managed high school snack bars, given boy scout awards and socialized at women’s Bible study. As I set out to become even more involved in the community, I’d like to focus my efforts on supporting those who are battling cancer. Within the last year, I have prayed with close friends and family members through their fight with cancer. Some are still fighting, some have been triumphant in their battle and I have had to say goodbye to others. By becoming involved in various organizations that support cancer research, I hope to show how much I truly care for these special people in my life.

The American Cancer Society is holding a “Relay for Life Cancer Charity Walk” event  on April 27th at the Riverside City College field. I hope to join other people in the community that day in support of those who are fighting against cancer. I will be sure to keep everyone posted as I gather my friends and family to fundraise.
