Gratitude...
Everyday, as I drive to the office, I roll down my window and take in the cool morning air and just for a brief second, I take it in.... how great it is to be alive, to be healthy, and to be here in the US.

18位亞凱迪亞華裔高中學生，除輪番上陣參加接力賽，還以命名為「Nothing is bigger than love」的攤位，以刺青貼紙、夜光裝飾品、射氣球及猜謎遊戲、現場製作動物氣球等多項活動，進行抗癌義賣。

Why Do We Relay?
One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® unites communities across the country each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
This year marks the beginning of our celebration of 25 years of Relay For Life®. Won’t you join us this year and be a part of Relay? Help us mark this milestone and celebrate the successes we’ve achieved together during the last 25 years.

Your involvement with the American Cancer Society Relay For Life is essential to supporting our mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. The American Cancer Society fights cancer on four fronts: research, education, advocacy, and service.
