This year, YPS made a commitment to help save lives from cancer by taking part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. I know that you care about finding an end to cancer, so if you'd like to join me at Relay, please visit my personal page. If you are not able to attend, you can still help by making an online donation.

By taking part in Relay For Life®, we have a chance to join 3.5 million people from across the country to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much. At the same time, we'll help raise much needed funds and awareness to support the American Cancer Society's efforts to save more lives.

At the event, we'll camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track. There is an incredible ceremony to celebrate cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night, and a moving ceremony to honor and remember those who have fought the disease. I can truly say that Relay is a life-changing experience. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.

Whether it is through a friend, family member, the neighbor down the street, or our own personal experience, we have all been touched by cancer in some way. Please join my team. Together, we have the power to help create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone's life.
