Very
few people today in our society haven’t been touched one way or
another by the awful disease called cancer. The diagnoses
of hearing cancer is enough to make people give up all hope for
life. But that is changing, and we are close to eliminating
this dreaded disease. The diagnoses of cancer are no longer
a “death sentence”. With today’s research it is evident that
the research for the cure for cancer is paying off with the number
of people surviving cancer.
How
Can You Help? There
are many ways. . . making donations, supporting legislation on a
local and national level, getting involved in community events that
raise money for the American Cancer Society, such as the Relay for
Life, and giving of your time.
Relay For Life is
a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship
and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer
Society and is held all over the nation. During the event, teams
of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns
walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team
member on the track at all times.
One of our newest friends
from Utah has been so gracious and kind as to help us organize our
new Cancer Center Project. Cathy Sanchez, from Price, Utah
works in the dietary department at Castleview Hospital. Their
hospital is in their ninth year of participation in the Relay for
Life and has raised money for them by compiling a cookbook made
up of recipes from employees, physicians, and volunteers. You
will find not only great recipes, but humor spread throughout the
cookbook as well. You can help find a cure for cancer by purchasing
this cookbook and “Cooking for a Cure”. All proceeds of this cookbook
are going to the American Cancer Society. To purchase, send
$10.00 per book and $2.00 shipping & handling to: Castleview
Hospital Attn: Cathy Sanchez 300 North Hospital Dr. Price,
UT 84501 (Please make checks out to: Castleview Hospital)
Relay
For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will
never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported,
and that one day, cancer will be eliminated. Another way to
get involved in the cure for cancer is by simply donating your talent
to help comfort those battling cancer. Many cancer treatments
across the nation are looking for donation of this type. Whether
it is to make hats or wigs for patients, or books for cancer treatment
patients.
ReddStewart.com

will be donating a free CD of Redd’s beautiful music to any &
all cancer libraries or cancer treatment centers across the USA

treatment with the sound of Redd’s music! If you know of a cancer
treatment center and/or cancer library anywhere in the United States,
please send us a complete address and contact person, and we will
be more than glad to send a CD out to them! If each and everyone
who reads this page simply bought one cookbook and provided one
address of a cancer treatment center, imagine all the help for research
and comfort for patients we could create! If you would
