June 14, 2013 Relay for Life

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
~Mother Teresa

So often people believe that they can't make a difference in their community, their nation, or the world, but there is power in the individual; when one joins another and they grow in number, big changes can happen. Tonight I participated in the Relay for Life gathering when hundreds assemble to raise money and their voices to celebrate those who have beaten cancer and remember those who have lost their battle to this disease. My donation was small; however, when it is added to all the others, a large sum is collected to fund research. It is important to come together and support one another in a concern which affects so many of us.
