For about a month now, I have been raising money for SUNY Plattsburgh's Relay for Life event. This is the first year I have participated in this event, and it has been an extremely rewarding experience.
The money raised will go to the American Cancer Society, an organization that is close to my heart, considering many of my family members have been affected by cancer. My aunt passed away at an early age in 2012 because of breast cancer. Since then, cancer-fighting efforts have been important in my life.
The efforts of my friends, family and coworkers to donate toward my cause has not only touched me, but also surprised me. It's heartwarming seeing a group of people come together to achieve a common goal.
So far, I have raised $345 of my $500 goal. Initially, I had tried to reach $100 but decided to up the ante. If you are interested in learning more about this event or would like to donate, you can visit Relay for Life.
Relay is always a blast!
