Letter From Jamey about Relay for Life

Jamey seems to be feeling better yesterday and today - yeah!!! It was gorgeous out yesterday and he rode his bike, which was really nice. Today he came home and asked to go on the treadmill (he decided it's time for him to get back some of the muscle mass he's lost over the past nine months). Yesterday we joined a gym which the whole family can use, so we're really excited to get back into shape.

We're so happy he's doing well today!!

This year Jamey decided to join his friend William and do the Relay for Life. This is the letter he sent out.

Dear Family and Friends,

Last year as you know I got leukemia (a type of cancer). I’ve decided to try and help stop cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event right here in my community. Relay For Life® is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. By participating, I am honoring cancer survivors, paying tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease, and raising money to help fight it. My group and I are doing activities to raise money and awareness for it and I thought you could help please help support me in this important cause by making a donation. It is faster and easier than ever to support me by making a secure, tax-deductible donation online using the link below. If you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the mailing address listed below.

Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
