Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

On Thursday, February 12, I joined the Rochester Relay for Life Team at Frisbie Memorial Hospital for an inspiring gathering. This incredibly passionate group of volunteers, team leaders, survivors and care givers raised $180,000 in 2009. In 2010, we are working to raise $185,000 to save lives by helping people stay well and get well, find cures and fight back.
