#WhyIRelayWednesday 💜🎗️

“Hi everyone my name is Grace and I am a junior at VT! I relay for myself and others who have ever been affected by a cancer diagnoses. Last February I was diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and had to leave school to receive treatment. After being introduced to Relay For Life in my hometown, I knew when I came back to school I wanted to be involved in some way. Relay For Life is an amazing opportunity to help the community in which I will now forever be a part of. Raising money for research and treatment is important, but educating others on symptoms and signs is also something that can be life altering. Now that I am in remission, I will always relay for those struggling and to remember those who fought the hard battle.”
-Grace Brown, Events Committee Member
