Post #91: Relay for Life 2025

I choose to fundraise to pave a path for future treatments. I relay for my great grandparents, who succumbed to cancer because there were very limited treatment options available at the time. I relay for my friends who have lost their parents. I relay so that when somebody is diagnosed with cancer, they don’t have that sinking feeling in their gut that their life is over. I relay so that families around the world do not have to grieve the loss of their loved ones due to cancer. I relay for all those who don’t have anyone to relay for them. I relay because when we come together as a society, we are bigger than cancer.

POST #78: RELAY FOR LIFE

Newmarket High School hosted its 17th annual Relay For Life Event for the Canadian Cancer Society on May 16, 2024. As the Recruitment Coach, I had the opportunity to work with our incredible team of students and dedicated Staff Advisors to promote school-wide fundraising and help put on the final day of celebration and commemoration. I also lead the school team for students who did not have a team to fundraise with, called the “New Martians.” Together we fundraised over $3,500 dollars through bake sales, bracelet sales, and reaching out to friends and family.
