As many of you on here may remember my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer last year. She is through Chemo and doing well now.

I am participating in a 24 hour cancer fund raiser, called Relay for Life. Our team will walk on June 21st for 24 hours to honor Cancer survivors and raise money for cancer research.

Here is a link to my page. Please donate whatever you can to help out.

My robot team is also participating and the army here on FCP has been very generous.

So this is your first RFL?

2nd. Las year it was last minute for me.

My boss was taking donations in exchange for a "jeans day" and a cookbook. I donated $10.

So:

"I GAVE AT THE OFFICE!"

Thanks SAM!

I've been to two Relay for Lifes in May. They're great events.

Ive known a lot of lazy people in my time, but Ive never heard of anyone that entered a robot in a charity walk....



Congratulations, I guess...

Thanks 'a friend from FCP', Very generous.

Trying to keep this at the top

Please help the children!

bump.

Cancer sucks big time.

Do it for the tax deduction if nothing else!

The goal is within reach!

$50.00 coming from me. Sorry bout your mom.

TY Hollywood. Very generous!

I changed my mind about the $50 donation.

















I went ahead and capped you off. Your goal has been reached...I donated the $190 you needed to fill your goal.



Again....sorry to hear about your mom bro.

Hey TY very much.

As much as I gave you shit about you being unfunny. That was very kind.


Agree to Disagree (you should appreciate that via your Avatar).

LOL .... Hey I know I'm a tool. I'm not insensitive... Just obnoxious.

You know.... you others could make a donation in Sean's mom's name even though his goal if filled.





Give 5 bucks at least.

Bump.

Last week. I hit my goal, but I would like to surpass it!!

Free bump



Give 5 bucks at least! Come on people.... give something.

"Look at Me, I gave!"

no seriously. good job.

No seriously..... give something.

Strike that.... sounds bad

how would you know if I haven't?

I missed this thread somehow. Donation sent!

I've survived cancer but am luckier than most people because it was caught early enough. Was diagnosed at age 16 and will be cancer-free for 10 years in October this year.

Was more of a general statement. I know I quoted you and then made it...making one believe I was speaking directly to you.. but it was just an across the board statement. Like when Smokey the Bear says "Only YOU can prevent forest fires" --- relieved a lot of pressure off me when I understood that.




Holy Cow... I feel like "way to go" or "awesome" is in order but it doesn't fit. How about... congrats on kicking cancers arse! That's very cool dude.

TY C.J.

And congrats!!!

Doing my walk this Saturday. First lap is at 10:00 and I am doing it with my mom for the Survivor lap. Its probably going to be pretty emotional, but I hope it is uplifting for here.

She is a strong woman and has beat this from her will power but she never really wanted to go any groups or anything like that, but I think it will be good for her to see all of the other survivors walking and possibly share stories!

Thank you very much.

You're welcome El Guapo, good luck on the walk!

What the hell? Cancer at 16? What exactly were you diagnosed with?

I had testicular cancer. So yeah, I only got 1 now but it's actually a lot more comfortable than having 2. Plus removing one has zero effect on reproduction.

The funny thing is that my oncologist had talked to me about getting a prosthetic nut. That whole process seemed kinda funny but I passed on that because I didn't want another surgery.

Not sure if any of you guys used to follow Tom Green but I had the same thing he did (as well as Lance Armstrong, but not as serious), and he filmed both his surgeries to show on his show. It was so cool watching the same surgeries I had on TV. One was to remove the tumor and nut. The other one was a surgery to remove some of my lymphnodes because that is where the cancer would have spread to. That involved making an 18" incision starting from my sternum all the way down to my pelvis. Talk about pain after I woke up from that 4 hour surgery. Once the test results of the 'nodes came back negative that meant they were confident the got all the cancer out and that it had a 7% chance of reoccurance, which would be in the lungs if it did come back.

But it's all good now, I kicked it's ass.

You rock dude.

how was the walk??

It was good, we did the survivor walk in the morning, that was a little emotional, then we had to rush out of there because the track is artificial and has that new age turf (like at Michigan) so at 10:00 AM it was over 100 degrees, and my daughter was about to overheat.

Then my Mom and I went back that evening and walked for a couple hours that evening. If it were not for the heat, we would have hung out for a few hours during the day, but my kids are just too young for that.


All in all a fun time, but wish I could have participated (day of) more.

Not sure what the final tally was our team goal of 5K was short, I think we did 3.5K (thanks FCP!)

I am sure half a mil or more was raised from out region
