12 hours: Relay for Life

Hello Everyone,
I'm popping back in here to share this from my every day blog:

For the 3rd year in a row
I will be relaying in memory of my Husband, Bryan,
who lost his battle with Lyposarcoma
two days before his 38th birthday.

The Relay for Life is put on by the Canadian Cancer Society each year.
It is a 12 hour overnight non-competitive relay
to raise funds for research in the fight against cancer.
Below, I have posted a video by the Canadian Cancer Society for you to watch.

Last year, a few of you told me that you wished
I had posted my fundraising page so you could donate.
If you wish to donate, click HERE.
All donations over $10 Cdn will get a tax receipt from the Canadian Cancer Society.
Thank you for your support.

Need Name Suggestions for Relay for Life Team

I am creating a relay team in honor of my husband.
I can't decide on a name.
I'm thinking "Bear Hugs"
because his nickname was Bear
and his cancer blog has Bear Hugs in the title.
But it doesn't really sound like a team name, does it?

I'm open to suggestions...
any ideas?
I'm hoping to set up the team on the Cancer Society site tonight
so rack your brain and help me come up with a name!

Relay for Life

I have been trying to recruit people to join my team on the Relay for Life.

So far, I have had a few people say they can't, I have had 1 person say they want to be on my team, a couple maybes and the rest I have not even heard from yet.

The problem is, even though the event is not until May, I need to register my team (It must be a team of 10 people) ASAP and start fundraising. So I do need answers immediately.

I really REALLY want to do this.

I can join another team, if I want, but I would really like to set up a team in memory of my husband.

I don't know if any of Bear's IRL friends and family read this anymore, but I thought I'd post about it anyway. Please, Please, Please join the team! Most of you know how to get a hold of me or leave a comment where I can get ahold of you.

And for those of you who are unable to actually participate for physical reasons can still come out and cheer the team on (if I get a team together) and if you're physically too far away to attend, you can support with fundraising. All proceeds go towards the Canadian Cancer Society. Once I get a team going, I will let you know how to donate to support my team.

Truth is, I am not expecting much physical support. I have been putting on the Walk to Remember for Pregnancy and Infant Loss since 2007 and have never had any IRL family or friends show up, save for my brother this past October (who is one of the ones who can't attend the Relay for Life).

Please show your support. :(
