Relay for Life 2011
“Relay for Life” is an event that helps the fight against cancer. This year marks the 18th year for the Relay. Over 1000 registered walkers took turns walking laps at the track at CV high school. This year the event raised over $708,122.00 dollars. People walk for many different reasons. Some walkers are cancer survivors who when walking around the track shows others there is always hope in the battle against cancer. Some walkers are caregivers who see firsthand the toll cancer takes in the life of someone/ family battling cancer. Some walkers are supporters who walk around the track to help eliminate the word “Cancer”. On Friday June 10th, the Relay had over 3000 people.
Our Team “Hospitality for Life” raised over $1630.00 dollars. Special “Thank you” to Co-captains Scott McCoy and Patrick Murnane who lead our team around the track. I would like to thank all of our Team Members who took turns walking around the Track in over a 95 degree heat wave.
I would also like to thank the Fairfield Inn Lancaster, Country Inn & Suites Manheim, Homewood Suites Lancaster, SpringHill Suites Hershey Near The Park and the Greater Lancaster Hotel & Motel Association and team members who gave donations toward this event!
Sincerely, Michelle Gehman ~ 7 year Cancer Survivor
