2011 Relays for Life in Naperville
March 25, 2011At the all-nighter Relay For Life of South Naperville last summer, a gentleman about my age drove in the parking lot at Neuqua Valley High at about 3 am. He approached the front gate where I was logging my shift at the welcoming table.“Just what is going on here,” he asked. I explained it to him, and then he asked: “Why are you doing this at 3 in the morning?” Without thinking, I responded, “Because cancer never sleeps, sir.” There are only two conditions that will terminate this series: When a cure for cancer is found, leading to the eradication of this epidemic; or When I finally succumb to the disease. This year’s relays will be June 3 at Neuqua and June 11 at Naperville North. This is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event. Read Full Story »
