The Reason Why

Bev Wombacher shares why she puts so much time and energy into her support of our local Relay For Life. It's a great cause that hits close to home for many of us. Please consider making a contribution. ~ Karen

Why do I Relay? I got involved in Relay For Life 8 years ago, having been diagnosed with cancer. Being part of Relay has provided a lot of support, knowledge, additional friendships and the opportunity to help others. I am now a cancer survivor and have helped numerous people that have been diagnosed, treated and are now survivors. There have been those that were not as fortunate, it is for those that I walk every year.

The proceeds from the Relay go to help in the fight against this disease. New treatments are found every year that help the survivors enjoy life longer. Without research we would not be where we are today. If you have not participated in the Relay For Life, now would be a good time to start. We would love your support for our team, whether it is in the form of a donation (can be made at Ladies Workout Express or online) or by thinking of us as our team walks for 24 hours.

The event is held at Mt. Tahoma School on May 30,31. It will begin Friday evening at 6:00 p.m. and will end on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. We are inviting all survivors to come out and walk the first lap around the track. You can find more information by going to tacomarelay.org . If you have any other questions you can call us at Ladies Workout Express (253-752-8599) or email at gbcc3030@hotmail.com.

Thanks for reading and lets get ready to Relay !!!
