Relay For Life


This year Relay for Life here in Gonzales is this weekend.  It starts Friday at 6 PM at the JB Wells Park.  Who among us aren't effected by cancer? My mom is a survivor.  My grandfather is fighting it right now. My mother-in-law has had cancer. Uncle Rondal is fighting cancer. Uncle Glenn passed away from cancer. Jennys' Granny died of cancer.  Cousin Debra dies of cancer. Uncle TJ died of cancer. Uncle Roy died of cancer.  That's just the family I can put my finger on right now. That's not counting the dozens of friends I have lost, or have or are fighting cancer right now.

I just heard today 1 in 8 women will be effected by breast cancer alone. 1 in 8!!! That's unbelievable!!! And that doesn't count all the other types of cancer that creep into our lives.

Be aware! Take care! Say a prayer! And in the mean time support those out front trying to make a difference in the fight against this monster. 

God Bless,
Dennis Nesser
