Support Team BRAT!

We were recently having breakfast with Barry and Shirley in downtown Livermore when Dad had mentioned that people were outside putting up ribbons for some kind of cancer event. I replied, "Count me out! I don't want cancer!" After breakfast we went outside and saw that it was for the Relay For Life event sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

I had heard a little bit about the event, so I went home and researched it. Let me tell you about it! It is the signature event of the American Cancer Society and is done throughout the nation. Different people throughout the community form teams, and then those teams are required to walk around a track for 24 hours. That's right 24 HOURS! The team members take turns walking the track...some walk during the day some walk the "zombie shift" during the night. There are events held the day of the walk and everyone is encouraged to show support for their favorite team. Each team sets up a camp with a theme and some offer games, prizes, and food where the proceeds all benefit the American Cancer Society.

The Livermore Relay for Life will be held at Livermore High School and starts at 9AM on June 27th. The event will end at June 28th at 8:30AM.

Our team name is Team BRAT (Barry Riggs Alien Terminators)! Dad refers to his cancer as the alien. You should see the looks Dr. Kang gives him when he calls it the alien.

We would love your support. We need people to walk with us, people to support us on the day of the event, and donations. If you would like to help out, please let me know. There is a TON of information on the internet and available at our Team BRAT Website <-click here. I am just getting started on this, so it might be a little sparse right now, but I will keep you updated as we progress. Feel free to join the team or make a donation directly from the website. All donations are tax deductible.

Thanks for helping us to make a difference in finding a cure and Terminating the Aliens!
