Relay for Life
Each year I like to participate in a couple of charity based events. Over the years I have run a handful of 5k's for various events, rode a bicycle across Alaska for Aids research, jumped into a frozen lake for the Special Olympics.
This summer I have decided to support the "Relay for Life" which supports the American Cancer Society.
Since joining the EPFD I have come to meet a great group of people that all share a similar passion for community and helping. I have also met a few individuals that have been directly impacted by Cancer and are very passionate about this event and charity.
So, I am joining the EPFD and EP Police department in raising money and participating in the Relay for Life on July 17.
I typically do not like asking friends and family for charitable contributions but I have gotten past this issue and I am starting to realize how generous people can and want to be.
I am asking each person to contribute at least $10 with a goal of rasing $1000 (I have increased my minimum from $110 to $1000)
