Why We Relay



The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is more than just an event to Kyle and I. It is our personal opportunity to help save lives from cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society. Kyle's and my goal is to raise $100 and time is running out as the Relay is July 8th.

My family originally started participating after the Petersen's lost Vone and then Claude to cancer. Since that time my sister Janalee and best friend Britney have both become survivors of thyroid cancer and my Grandpa Farrell suffered from prostate cancer which contributed to his death. Kyle's aunt Peggy and Grandma Willis were also victims of this horrible disease and his Aunt Jane is a survivor. Craig's brother Bruce is currently fighting against cancer.

It's amazing to think that millions of people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Somebody close to us may be one of them.

But, by taking part in Relay, we are helping the American Cancer Society save lives by:

  • Helping people stay well by helping them take steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, when it's most treatable
  • Helping people get well by being in their corner around the clock to guide them through every step of their cancer experience
  • Finding cures by funding groundbreaking research that helps us understand cancer's causes, determine how best to prevent it and discover new ways to cure it
  • Fighting back by working with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight
Please support my efforts by making a donation or by joining my Relay For Life team. Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyones life. If you would like to donate $10 or more you can do it on our web page. If you can send less than that please feel free to mail it to us at: PO Box 354, Wellsville, UT 84339

We are also looking for donations of merchandise or services for the auction we hold during the relay. Last year we were able to raise quite a bit of money with it. Your business name will be displayed on a sign hung next to the track.

Thank You,

Kami and Kyle Willis
