Thank you to everyone who bid on the items for our 2nd Annual Relay for Life Charity Auction. We know it's a recession, but we still raised $800 selling 7 items that will go toward Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. One item received some good bids, but the buyer did not pay for it, so we'll hold onto it for next year. Our goal is still to raise $2000 this year. We're looking for donations to our Relay for Life page to help us reach that goal. So please consider donating to this great cause. Let's try to raise the $2000 before the finale. You can donate here and make a difference for the millions of people affected by cancer. If everyone who visits this site donates just $10, we'll reach that goal easily. So please consider donating. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Thank you so much for doing this!!!!! This July 30th, I will be cancer free for TEN YEARS!!!! That's 10 birthdays, 10 Christmases, 10 Easters, 10 Mother's Days that I wouldn't have had. I'm so grateful to be alive. My city's Relay For Life is this Friday night -- and I've been asked to be a torch bearer for the Luminaria Ceremony. I will think of you guys as I hold my torch up high tomorrow night....it's people like you who funded the cancer research that came up with the treatment that saved my life. Thanks....YOU GUYS TOTALLY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for that very inspiring post, KLH! I think we all know someone in our lives that has been in the battle against cancer. We need to keep fighting to see more posts like yours.

This is an awesome cause and I really hope VFTW surpasses their goals.
