My Relay... Your Help

I have a problem. Maybe you can help. (Read on).

This is the fifth year I've done the Relay for Life. So far I've done it in Kingston, Fort McMurray, Calgary, and this year brings me to Ottawa (well actually Nepean; close enough!) for a whole new experience. Every time the Relay has a different meaning for me, and along with it a different set of emotions. In 2004, my first year, my grandparents were on my mind as I walked around the track, remembering them and their fight and how much I miss them. In 2005, I found out that my friend Ali had had a relapse of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and was undergoing treatment again, so she was, needless to say, on my mind quite a bit that night - sending her as many good vibes of strength and courage as I could. Unfortunately, later that year she lost the fight, so that was my reason for Relaying in 2006 - to continue on the fight for her in whatever way I could. This year - news of friends and family members with cancer - there will always be a reason to Relay. Thanks always for your love and support.

Here's where the problem lies. I have a team of two. How can I call myself a "team captain" when there are only two of us? Two people don't need a captain! Haha. But seriously. I am supposed to enter a team of TEN. I don't even think I know ten people in Ottawa. So, if you are within driving distance and THINK you might be willing to have a lot of fun one night for a very important cause, please consider joining my team. I'm open to bribing at this point!

Alternately, crack open your piggy bank and help me raise some funds. So far I've had some very generous donations so I'm on my way to reaching my $1000 goal. With your pennies I should be able to make it!
