Relay For Life

 

Relay for Life

My name is Alyson Tasker and I'm the Team Captain for the Dubuque Jaycees' 2011 Relay for Life team.  I'm proud to say it's the Dubuque Jaycees' 3rd year participating in Relay For Life, which will take place June 3-4, 2011.
 
Being on an American Cancer Society Relay For Life team is an amazing experience.  Picture the scene: you're surrounded by your family and friends, urging each other on to make another lap around the track. The air is filled with the sound of laughter and sometimes tears, as our community celebrates those who have fought cancer, remembers the loved ones we've lost, and fights back against a disease that has taken too much from too many.
 
It would be an honor to have you on our team for this year's Relay For Life. The American Cancer Society is saving lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. Are you ready to join the fight?
