I never really thought about getting involved in Relay for Life before Jason's cancer diagnosis. But suddenly Jason was asking if I wanted to join him. Everything just seemed to fall into place.
We got invited to join the ME&V Relay Team. Jason mentioned to some people at KWWL that he might want to do a luncheon fundraiser to raise money for the relay.
People at KWWL took the idea of a lunch, and turned it into a great event. The plan was walking tacos, and a bake sale. I started asking people if they had anything to donate for a drawing to reward those who gave to our team. I think in all we had more than 20 items to give away to people who donated.
It was a fun luncheon. People from ME&V came to KWWL for walking tacos. In all, that event raised more than $1,000. It was AMAZING! That money that people so generously gave will go towards cancer research. It just shows you that when people come together, big things can happen! Join us next year as we start even earlier to raise money for this great cause.
