“A man's dying is more the survivors affair than his own”
Thomas Mann
“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
“I am a survivor. I am like a cockroach, you just can't get rid of me.”
Madonna
“I'm a survivor, at least that's what everyone tells me.”
Courtney Love
“Around the survivors a perimeter create.”
Yoda
“Some time ago, nature changed the world as I knew it. It left no apologies, no remorse... waves and winds leaving me with nothing to call my own. Or so I thought. Now five years later, I look back and see all what it has given me. Courage, resilience, empowerment... the list goes on and on. Things that no one can ever take away from me. And for that, I am eternally grateful.”
Julie Jameson
“As the generation of Holocaust survivors and liberators dwindles, the torch of remembrance, of bearing witness, and of education must continue forward.”
