Did you know the amount of cancer diagnosis that are being delayed due to pandemic related fear has drastically increased over the last year? It is true! The important thing to remember is that there is HOPE! Prevention is KEY in catching cancer in early stages and increasing survival rates. Hospitals and doctors offices are doing everything in their power to limit the spread. It is vitally important that you get your recommended screenings! If you need a refresher on when you are due for screenings, check out Cancer.org or call the American Cancer Society Hotline # 1-800-227-2345.
Why do we talk about the importance of prevention? Because it is the cornerstone of early intervention in so many cancers. As Relay For Life we are bound and determined to help all cancer patients. So no matter if you have breast cancer, multiple myeloma or a rare aggressive cancer that we have not heard of. WE FIGHT FOR YOU!
If cancer has touched your life in anyway, we want you to know about our Kick-off event on March 6th 2021 at 2 pm. ! It will be LIVE on our Facebook page: Relay For Life of New Fairfield. We will be talking about cancer, our New and Improved Event Day June 6th 2021, the importance of fundraising and we will be hearing from some very special speakers: Grace Fritzsche, Melissa Baker and Milena Illedge. They are going to remind us why we fight, despite pandemic fatigue, virtual challenges and fear.
