Twelve Relay volunteers and staff from three continents joined thousands of other participants at the American Cancer Society Nationwide Relay For Life Summit held August 1-2 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Relay representatives, from Australia (Victoria and Western Australia), Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, took part in training, shared in the celebration and preparation for the 25th year of Relay, and represented the global family of Relayers – now spanning 20 countries around the world – and their achievements in cancer education, survivorship, fundraising, and advocacy. Prior to the summit, these Relayers met at the International Relay For Life Workshop in Indianapolis on July 31. During this workshop, volunteers and staff shared information on their recent Relay activities and created program and event development strategies to strengthen Relay For Life in their countries.

I just tried to read the article, but it's no loegnr available at that link. So, I ll have to re-create it in my mind. Is the cancer caused by striking the back of the throat, or substances in the throat. Either way, my girl will never get a hold of this article if I can help it. NEVER!!I have to agree with ebony_smoothie. If head didn't make you smarter they wouldn't call it brains.
