“My childhood best friend passed away from cancer at the age of 17”“It made me more aware of how precious life is and made me much more aware of cancer... When I came to CUA, I joined Relay for Life and became chair of Relay. I've learned about the impact it has on people, especially families. When survivors come to Relay, you get to see the impact it has on them- through their smiling faces.“
