RFL

Okay, so last night was Relay for Life. I didn’t get to stay the entire night this year, mainly because I had a percussion practice the next morning at 8:00. And sorry, i cannot function on one hour of sleep.

So anyways. It was a lot of fun. I have a picture of some of our team doing the conga. it was funny. I’ll upload pictures later. um, i have a really bad memory, so i don’t really remember what we did.

But i do remember that the powerpoint was really sad.

And I do remember that the number of people who survived cancer, was either the same, or less than the number of people who died from cancer.

And I do remember that they said that I think (every minute?) someone is diagnosed with cancer.

So (at the risk of sounding like your parents, which alex thinks i already do), since we are the next generation, we must help find a cure.

Cancer is horrible. It takes away families and friends, and creates emptiness in so many places.

But for now. …

Love life!!!

and

Enjoy it!!!!

Know that while you live, you have the chance to change other people, and change the world while you’re at it.

So don’t give up.

Don’t throw that chance away.

Don’t throw your LIFE away.

Because that LIFE is IMPORTANT.

There are MILLIONS of people that would love to have that LIFE.

There are MILLIONS of people that would love to have a future.

There are MILLIONS of people that need help in this world.

And who is better to help them than you?
