i know that some may find it inappropriate for me to post this here, however, i think that regardless of where the contributions come from, its all for a GREAT purpose!

i'm walking in the bay area RELAY FOR LIFE this weekend from 7pm on Friday until 8am Saturday morning. All donations benefit the American Cancer Society.

I have met and exceeded the "suggested" personal walker goal of $100, however, my Team (Second Baptist - Highlands) has not met our goal of $1000. We're a small but growing church located in a small but growing town.

if you would like to make an online donation please follow the below link to my site. thank you and i apologize in advanced to anyone who may find this thread inappropriate bc i'm asking for monetary donations. IT IS FOR A GREAT CANCER FIGHTING CAUSE, and that is the only reason that I decided to post it here.

xoxo, Christie

good luck I done a 24hr relay for life 5 days after my op last yr, I lost a sitch but it was worth it.

I want to wish you lots of great luck!! We are having our own Relay in May and I'll be donating to that.

I was our team's captain (gave that up last year) for 7 years and our team has won 1st place for 5 of the last 8. My team is a church team too! We're hoping to raise enough to break the $100,000 mark for the total giving of all the years we've been involved. What amazes me is that we aren't a large church! In fact our Relay event is one of the highest raising events of our (small) size in California.

I cry every year and I always tell myself I won't! Every year the event hits home for me in a different way. I've never had cancer but one of my good friends is in treatment now. She's doing okay now but we were afraid we were going to lose her last month. We still could but the tests are coming back positive. We'll take what we can.

Many, many blessings on your event. I hope it is the most successful one you've ever had!!
