“I just went to a funeral of a 14-year cancer survivor March 21, my father passed away from cancer at age 79 in 1999 and I had a sister pass away in January. Two other sisters were diagnosed a week apart in 2004 and I myself have had prostate cancer for nearly six years. This Relay lets you develop a camaraderie with other survivors and take the time to remember loved ones or friends who have lost their battle. It also celebrates life.”
Wayne Sumner

“My father, who was a doctor, died of pancreatic cancer. But he was clear about what he wanted done and not done. No hospitals, no invasive surgeries. He had a living will, which is like a narrative of your life that you get to finish. It was his legacy -- what he wanted to leave his family: emotionally, financially, spiritually.”
Carlos Gomez
“He just comes in and tells me. You have a lymphoma cancer Hodgkin's. Then everything started running through my mind. It was totally unexpected. I thought I was going to die. I don't do anything to harm myself. The first thing I wondered is why me?”
