At my high school, North Gwinnett, we do Relay For Life. I am sure that some of you know what that is or if you haven't you probably heard of Stand Up To Cancer. Relay for Life is an important event and it will help find a cure for cancer, new medicine to help fight against cancer, or help someone get the best treatment on their on going war with cancer. I am sure that many of you have been affected by cancer in some way. It might not be you but your family members, family friends, or even a teacher that you have. Unfortunately cancer hasn't been important because more attention has been paid to the War on Aids for finding new medicine, treatments and possibly a cure. Just recently Stand Up To Cancer aired on Television featuring celebrities that we can recognize. However the people that still fight cancer are the real heroes showing us the true meaning of strength. People here were willing to donate their money to this cause showing that they were all united on this front. Please feel free to comment and ask about how to donate and be part of Relay for Life.

Yea.. pretty much everything she said was very important. i didn't go so i guess i am a failure...
Neil-- you're never a failure! Neil is not going to tell you this, so I'm going to "toot his horn" for a minute. Neil performed during lunch in honor of one of our students who passed this summmer from leukemia. Neil was a VERY important part in leading the cause of ROTC towards cancer. Not only is he a leader in school, he rocks on the cancer front and PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING HE DOES. Soooo if he's into relay, you should be too!
HEHE my teacher is the true leader at our high school who leads us in the Relay For Life events....
