So it's been a while since I've posted anything, but that's because the last few weeks have been kind of hectic. After graduation I spent some time visiting family and participating in my Relay For Life event back home. This event occurs in my hometown and it's on a much different scale than the one at Virginia Tech but it's always successful and a lot of fun. This year I got to watch my mom run a "5k at 5am" at the event which was really cool considering it had been almost 24 hours since she had woken up the day before.
However that's not my new involvement with the American Cancer Society since I have been attending that event for 3 years now...so the question is what is it??
I am now working on the other side of Relay For Life events, I am now a full time employee of the American Cancer Society!! I get to help run 3 events near Roanoke, VA and work with the many volunteers who come into the office and attend our events. I am so excited to be apart of such a wonderful organization that I have had the opportunity of volunteering for. The American Cancer Society is such a wonderful organization and the people who staff it and it's volunteers are some of the most amazing people. I cannot wait to really begin work with my 3 events, I've already had the opportunity to start working with one of them. This job is going to be an great opportunity for me, to not only work with 3 community RFL events but also to get to work towards bettering the lives of cancer patients everywhere!
If any one out there wants to learn more about how to get involved, leave a comment or visit cancer.org and explore the American Cancer Society's website.
