Relay for Life

[dabomb585]

what is the name of this song?? where can i down load it??

[heleneaustin]

@dabomb585 It is Called 'Relay' and is available to buy as CD from my website... proceeds go to Canadian Cancer soc.

[cookiesnmilksinger07]

I am just wondering helene, is this available in an instrumental (no lyrics) I used it in a video that I told you about a few weeks ago and was wondering if you had the instrumental so it could be sung at the event.

[heleneaustin]

@cookiesnmilksinger07 go to my website and contact me and we can sort it out.

[cookiesnmilksinger07]

may I use this song for a video to be played on a booth for fundraising with my relay for life team? No money is made with the actual video- just what will play to get others on my college university to see our booth through the year to sell our homemade baked goods etc. ?

[heleneaustin]

@cookiesnmilksinger07 of course you can. Thanks for asking!

[fairythree]

Thank you for this song. I have done the relay for 3 years now and we have been looking for a song to play at our post (may we use your song Please)

[heleneaustin]

@fairythree of course you can! if you want a good quality version you can buy the CD from my website and the money goes to the Canadian Cancer Society.

[relayforlifealamance]

Thanks for the wonderful song. Where can I get a CD with this song on it? I would like to have it at your Relay For Life in May 2010. Your are a blessing for all survivors!

[heleneaustin]

thanks... you can get it from my website.

[hidwuzawaldo]

This song just reminds us that together we can fight to find a cure. Rather you are in the U.S, Canada or across the world. Cancer is still Cancer. Its no respecter of person. It takes all ages, and all races in all countries. BUT together we can fight and find victory. One day praying for a cure. I am a survivor. It is my mission to find a cure. So that no other mommy has to say goodbye to her children due to cancer. Thank you again for this song. I will be purchasing the c.d.. :o) God Bless

[THEbrittnayXP]

I love the song. I wish it was on Itunes

[heleneaustin]

thanks. I don't put it on itunes so people have to buy CD, the proceeds of which go to the canadian cancer soc. But maybe I will re think.

[heleneaustin]

hi...thanks for your message...and it's so great that you are such a thoughtful kind person.

[Bears08]

I love this song, and I love Relay For Life. I'm an 18 year leukemia survivor; I had it when I was five and I'm 24 now. I walk for my fellow survivors, for the three friends I have lost to cancer, and for everyone, especically children, who are battling cancer now. A cure is out there somewhere and we will find it someday!

Sarah

[heleneaustin]

All the survivors like you out there amaze and inspire me!

[amccann7]

You are a beautiful person; this is a hopeful anthem for all whose lives have been touched by cancer; including mine.

Peace,

Amy

[heleneaustin]

thank you...I think there are few lives that aren't affected.

[hidwuzawaldo]

Wow!!! This song is amazing. Relay for life has saved so many lives. I am a survivor of stage 4 female cancer. I walk now in honor of those other moms who have survived, and in Memory of so many moms who cant walk anymore.. Until I cure is found. We will never stop fighting.. Until a cure is found there is NO FINISH LINE!!! :O)

[heleneaustin]

It's people like you that make me write the songs that do!! Thank you!

Your Mom will be in a much better place ,when that time happens,where there is no more pain or suffering.

Thank you -John. This is wonderful. I am glad someone is trying to do something to help find a cure for cancer. I lost my husband to a rare cancer in August of 2006.

Berni
