Why do we Relay?

Letter to the Editor:

     At Sukup Manufacturing we have a Relay For Life team called “Solution Seekers.” We are happy to be part of the Relay For Life because:

     1. It’s a fun way to join together to raise money to help fight cancer. There are many cancers that we can now whip, and we couldn’t 10 or 20 years ago. Research and the medical field has come a long way in the battle against cancer.

     2. When we go to the Relay For Life , we remember and honor those we have lost to cancer and what it meant to them and us.

     3. When we go to the Relay For Life event, we celebrate and encourage the survivors!

     4. It’s personal – we have had cancer or loved someone who has. This is one way we can make a difference.

     5. It brings awareness of the disease – a big part of surviving is early detection.

     Sukup Solution Seekers Team: Diane Hughes, Barb Hanig, Greg Hellman, Steve Waechter, Barbie Waechter, Brent Hansen, Warren VanDyke, Christie Brown, Pat Milota, Jordan O’Brien and Faith Wilkins.
