Relay for Life

Kristi asked me post this letter to help their fund raising efforts for their Relay for Life team. I would be surprised if anyone reading this blog has not been touched in some way by cancer. It can be a real struggle, not only for the patient, but also for their family and friends. Often the financial burden that is placed on these people is too great to bear and can lead to all sorts of negative consequences. Here's the letter Kristi sent me:Hello Everybody!!!

Relay for Life is an amazing fundraiser for Cancer patients. It provides tons of services to people in this area with cancer who don’t have the money for different things. I’ve been Relaying for the past five years and the past two years I have raised an amazing amount of money due to all the people who have donated. This year, Taryn Kaiser and I have gotten together and set a goal for ourselves to raise 5,000 dollars!!! We’re almost there!! We need 1,100 dollars more. That’s not that much, and we’d love to raise more if possible.

I’m asking all of you fellow bloggers to please donate to this amazing cause. You don’t have to donate a great amount of money. Every single dollar gets us closer to this goal! All you have to do is go to my blog…, notice that there is a donate button towards the top right hand side. Click it, and enter the amount you wish to donate. It’s that easy!!!! If you don't have a paypal account, it's not hard to sign up for one. If you ever use eBay it will come in really handy. If you don't wish to donate through paypal, feel free to mail us a check. If you'd like our address just send me an email: kristilee85@insightbb.com

I understand if you can’t donate, I’m a college student too, and I realize cash is rough. Please just keep those with cancer and those who have family members with cancer or any disease in your prayers! Thanks all!

Kristi Daniel and Taryn Kaiser

luke! no offense here at all...i asked for some insight and i appreciate it. it's so much easier to take hardships when its yourself compared to your child that you know is trying her best to do what's right.

and yes you're right, we're not always going to get a fair shake i guess i just live in a dream world of where people treat other people like a human being. i guess we can kinda compare this to how God our Father must have felt when His Son was being treated so un-fair and unjust...and He was perfect!

thanks for the appropriate verses.

and thanks for your compassion on cancer. as you know we just lost the girls' grandfather to this disease and it's really rough.

blessings!
