Relay for Life
We have a little more than 2 weeks to go before this year’s “Virtual” Relay for Life. There is still plenty of time if you would like to become a team member or donate. I have included instructions on how to become a team member or make a donation. We currently have 5 team members: Rachael Garrison, Jean Halme, Carol Millington, Marilyn and myself and have raised just over $500. While most of our focus the past few months has been on COVID-19, it’s long term impact pales in comparison to cancer. The American Cancer Society projected that in 2019 there would be 1,762,450 new cancer cases and 606,880 cancer deaths in the United States. The good news, if there is any, is that the overall cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2016 by a total of 27%. Even though this year’s event will be “Virtual”, there is nothing “Virtual” about cancer. We all have family and friends who have been or are being ravaged by cancer. This is our opportunity to honor those people and to do our part in the fight against cancer. So How Can You help? You Can Become a Team Member. To do so on line, go to our team page at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/RoundLakeUMC and click on join. Alternatively, and perhaps even easier, is to call the ACS at (800) 227-2345, and tell the representative you would like to join our team - Round Lake United Methodist Church. They will be glad to sign you up. Once a team member, you will have your own link which you can share with your family and friends when you offer them the opportunity to support you, our team and the American Cancer Society. You Can Donate. To donate, you can do an internet search for Relay for Life, Saratoga County, NY. This will take you to the ACS site.

If you want to donate by check or with cash, just contact me and I will help you out. Finally, you can always call ACS at (800) 227-2345 to donate.
