Here’s a list of reasons to participate in the Relay for Life Why does the High School Relay? Why does anyone Relay? We do it for the long list of names that we have lost to cancer. We do it because we’ve watched our loved ones suffer enough. On our team, we have many athletes with strong ties to Coach Vince Morris. The loss of him in our school’s community was hard on many of us. We also have four of Dr. Susan Betts’ nieces and nephews on our Relay team, as well as many

Enrollment in the program is free to the city and to its residents. There are no age or income requirements. The program will start up in about eight weeks. The city will advertise the program through its Web site, HYPERLINK “http://www.seafordde.com” www. seafordde.com, and through its newsletters.
Final Word people whose lives she touched. James Betts says that he Relays “with hopes to find a cure.” We all have our own stories of how cancer affects our life. I have watched my grandfather go in and out of hospitals for cancer since I was seven years old. This is why I felt so strongly about this organization and volunteered to be team captain. Each and every one of us has our own reasons for Relaying. This bond has brought us together to help raise money to find a cure for this horrible disease that has claimed so many lives. In this world, it is very important to highlight the good that people are doing. I ask that you please support our cause and more importantly, please support the American Cancer Society and Seaford High School. It takes a community to raise a child and it takes all of us to find a cure for cancer. Alison Schwinn SHS, Relay chair
