One Week Away From Relay

5 days, 19 hours, 1 min until Relay for Life on Saturday February 4th. Now the countdown begins to see what team can fund-raise the most money within the next week. It has always been one of those underlying challenges. One team may be in the lead all week, and at the last second a new team rises as the new leader. How does this occur? The efforts of many to be the team to beat are seen during these last few days as team wait until the last possible second to turn in money. This last minute strategy does some teams well as they then become the new team to beat. Who do you think will be this years winner?

Cancer Never Sleeps, So Why Should You?

If you were there last night, you were there in support of a great cause. Kick Off was a moment to cherish as the Greek community came together to support Kristen our cancer survivor, as well as each other. Kristen was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer at the age of 22. Now, a recent graduate of MSU, she never thought she would ever see the day she would get her diploma. She was told by the doctors that she would have less than a year to live. That is when she decided to get married to her long-time boyfriend, a serving Marine, who at the time was about to be deployed. If you missed Kick Off, check out the special Say Yes to the Dress, where Kristen was chosen ( for the season finale) to go to Kleinfields and pick out her wedding dress! She is such an inspiration as she beat the odds and is now on the road to recovery. She gave a touching speech at Kick Off relating her experiences to those students who have suffered the lose of family members and friends, or have been there for those who have been affected by cancer. At the end of her speech, it was time like any other year to remember those loved ones who cancer has affected. Check out the video below to see a few snippets of the Luminaria ceremony. We all hope that her touching story can give the Greek Community the momentum we need to raise our goal donation to give those who have been affected by cancer a chance to beat the odds. 

"We will stay up all night relaying, we will not sleep, because cancer does not sleep"
