RESEARCH THAT’S WHY! Research that gives…
HOPE that there will not be a call in 8:00 a.m. with the news that a dear friend has advance lymphoma.
HOPE that your dear friend/mother/sister learns that there is a cure when she is diagnosed with breast, ovarian,
or cervical cancers.
HOPE that your dear friend/father/brother learns that there is a cure for prostate, testicular, or breast cancer.
HOPE that you don’t get a call about cancer and know that this person whom you love and the people in their
lives have a rough road ahead.
HOPE that when you do get that call you know that the research, that Relay for Life supports, will give that
person and the people in their lives the support they need and HOPE FOR A CURE! And maybe the next call
about cancer is from that person you love and they are cancer free.
Research is expensive so if you want HOPE then research must be supported.
