The an n ual,Rappahannock Relay for
Life will be held next weekend.
The annual American Cancer Society’s Relay
for Life event is just a little over a week away
and Rappahannock residents are getting excited. This year’s event will be held May 17 and 18 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School with ceremonies beginning around 7 p.m. If you have not signed up and would like to participate in some way - there are many teams. It shouldn't he difficult to find a team with someone you know participating.
If previous plans prevent you from attending, consider the cause and the many survivors of cancer that live right here in Rappahannock as well as those that were not as fortunate and make a donation to a member of one of the teams.
Research is the key to beating cancer and even though the many early detection programs now being used have improved cancer victim’s chances immensely there is still much that needs to be done. But, we all know that research takes money.
Three years ago, Rappahannock branched out from the Fauquier and Culpeper groups. The end results were remarkable. The first year on our own, we raised $62,300; the second year $68,187 and last year $51,(100. Lets each do our part to make this year the best yet.
If you would like to make a special donation or contribute in a special way contact Ben Atkins at 635-2377 or Bette Mahoney at 675-3446.
Remember: the Relay for Life is a relay without a finish line .... until we find a cure for cancer.
Mark your calendars for May 17 and 18 and plan to attend the Rappahannock Relay for Life
