Thank you Dr. Gordy for all you have done and continue to do, I've only been involved with Relay for two years now, last year being my Survivor walk. This year I"m on a team, proudly walking as a Navy Wife, I Relay for my father in law who lost his short battle with lung cancer, my Mother in law and my self who both survived uterine cancer, it took my fertility and the chance of ever being a bio mom, but it can never take my fight, now I walk for my aunt in law as she fights breast cancer.
