RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT
DAPHNE'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY TEAM

WHERE: Calhoun County Fairgrounds- Marshall, Michigan
This year we are dedicating our team relay to two special people- In Memory of Tammy Dowding and In Honor of survivor, Curtis Whittaker.
At 6:00pm on Friday survivors and their loved ones are invited to walk a victory lap with crowds of people lining the course cheering and applauding with many of us moved to tears. At 9:00pm hundreds of "luminaries" will be lit to remember those lost to cancer, those who are fighting cancer and those who have fought and won! Jerry and I, along with my family will be at our team site the entire 24 hours. We will have great food, fun and a fighting spirit.
There are so many different ways you can help our team this year:
- Sign up to walk for one or more time slots (our goal is to have at least one person representing our team on the track the entire 24 hours)
- Make a donation to our team in any amount you can afford: payable to the American Cancer Society.
- Donate $10.00 for a luminary to honor a survivor or in memory of someone you know who has lost the battle
