Hello to all its almost here after all my preperation.The Highland Relay For Life is next week!
I cant believe it is here already it seems like only yesterday we were in the planning stages.
It feels good to know that I have brought more awareness to the cause and the symptoms of ovarian cancer. I have spoken to soo many survivors and heard there stories.Some people have gone through so much more than I have .They are truely survivors!
Wish us luck in raising awareness if anyone wants to donate in my name you can my team name is. never 2 early to fight

Hi Kara, you have some great Pictures there. Looks like a really good support system going there.

The Relay for life is a good way to spread the word and Celebrate life and honor those that have gone before us.
