#WhyIRelayWednesday 💜
“I relay for my mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was in 2nd grade. Two and a half years later, the strongest women I have ever known lost her battle. Since 2nd grade, breast cancer awareness has become a huge part of my life. My family attended the Walk for Awareness at Englewood Hospital every year, even after we lost my mom. I joined Relay when I was a freshman in high school and have been involved ever since. Relay has become a huge part of my life because it allows me to see all the good we are doing for our surrounding community. I relay for my mom and all of the families in this world who were affected and devastated like mine.”
