Hi everyone! I don’t ever usually post anything like this but I wanted to share my story. Growing up, I had a babysitter who always wanted to do good for the community. She got a job with the American Cancer Society (ACS) and I became really interested in what she did. I wanted to do good in the community like her. Every year, ACS put on a fundraiser raising awareness for cancer patients called Relay For Life. I decided to make a team and raise money. Doing fundraisers, talking at Rotary Club, and doing presentations at college classes was SO fun. I got to talk about the purpose of Relay for Life and what I’m doing to make a difference. For last year’s Relay for Life, I raised $5,000. Cancer has affected so many of my loved ones that I wanted to try to make a difference. This year studies limited me to fundraising but I’m hoping to get back into it for next year’s Relay. Taylor and my childhood babysitter both have always inspired me to do good for those around me. Hearing the news about Taylor’s mother really broke my heart because I know when you have a loved one in that position, it isn’t easy. I just wanted to remind everyone that you can do good whether it’s as little as thanking someone or just being kind.
