Hi/Lo Thursday

Welcome to "Hi/Lo Thursday!"

My Lo:
It's midterm week at school! It was not has difficult as in past years, but stressful none the less. I made it through my hardest test this morning.

My High:

My classmates in my Special Education classes have formed a team in the Relay for Life at our school. This is something I have never participated in before, but I am very passionate about the cause.
I Relay because cancer has effected my life in many ways. In 2004, I lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer. She was someone I always looked up to. She helped me through many things; she was my special best friend. I still miss her every single day. I watched the cancer slowly take over her body. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I Relay to support the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission by fighting back against a disease that has already taken so much.

• I Relay in memory of my amazing grandma, Muriel Pauline Snow.

• I Relay in support of Lindsey Jean Marlow. She struggled through 2 years of chemo-therapy while in high school. She stayed strong and is currectly in remission and is in her third year of college.

• I Relay in support of Ruth Diana Abrahamson. She is my boyfriend's mother and a 3 time cancer survivor.

• I Relay in support of Abigial Riggs. She is a strong 4 year old girl battling through rough chemo-therapy now. To read her story, follow along on their blog.
  

• I Relay in memory, honor, and support of all those battling with such a life threatening disease.

Please support me as I participate in the Relay for Life. I realize times are very tough for most people right now and many of you do not have a lot to give. Please do what you can if God moves you to do so. Even just a couple dollars will help.
Visit my personal page here to read more or to donate to this cause.
If you would like a luminary in honor, support, or memory of someone, we will be display them at the event if you are willing to donate just $10. They can be made through the site (click on luminaria on the left column.) If you would like to make your own or have me make one for you, that is another option. Please email me for more information on that.

If you are not able to contribute or even if you are, please keep me, my team and all event members in your prayers. We really want to do our part in the fight against cancer.

Happy Thursday!
The smells of SPRING BREAK are lurking around these parts...


God's blessings,

Stella
