#WhyIRelayWednesday 💜🎗️ “My grandfather, Lee Minor, was diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive cancer in March of 2023, and passed in April of 2023. He met my grandma when they were just 14 and spent over 55 years together enjoying life. He loved going to Nags Head and sitting out on the beach, riding around on his motorcycles, and being with his friends and family. My grandfather was a HUGE part of my life and the 20 years I got to spend with him will never be enough. He was loved by all that knew him and is extremely missed–we love you! <3 My other grandparents, Will and Jessie Wheeler, are both cancer survivors. They have been some of my biggest supporters in life, and I am so incredibly thankful that they are now in remission. Having to watch your loved ones go through a cancer diagnosis and everything that follows is absolutely heartbreaking. I relay for a cure, so that one day people won’t have to fight for their lives.” -Ava Wheeler, Mission & Luminaria Exec
