Rich (perc-o-prince) makes the papers

Hey,

Just thought I'd share a well-timed piece about Rich and the Relay! It showed up in a local paper that comes out here on Fridays.

How cool is that?! You two have lived through quite a lot this past year. Congrats, Rich, on your clean bill of health.

What a wonderful story. Thanks for posting it!

I'm (Rich) just getting to the computer!!

Chuck posted that article but I want to thank all of you who were able to help support me in the Relay for Life by making donations. It is very hard times for most of us so I appreciate the support!

I would also like to those of you who were not able to send monetary support, but sent your best wishes and prayers for a successful relay.

Every dollar donated is precious as well for without these donations to help fund research, I can tell you that 20 years ago I would have been DEAD!!

Much love and appreciation!!

Rich

Is good to hear a 'success' story.

Relay for Life is run in Oz too and is one of those things which many people dig deep for. Most of us will be touched by cancer at some point in our lives and the more money we can get into research and treatment, the more chance our loved ones have of long term survival and quality of life.

May it stay bannished in remission.

hugs
Chris

Rich, I am so glad to hear that you are doing much better! I had no idea that you were unwell. I will put you on our prayer chain at church. Hugs and kisses. Gary

The Relay is a pretty serious thing, because of the reason it exists. However, there is some fun to be had! Here are 4 of the members of our team during the karaoke time!

Here's a pretty moving video of the luminaria bags that are placed around the track. The nearly 3 minute video chronicles only about 20% of the bags at the Natick MA event. Unfortunately, most of them are for remembering lives lost to cancer, though the luminaria also celebrate survivors.
