Relay for Life fundraisers provides services to area

Dear editor:

My name is Robin Hatfield and I am a volunteer for the American Cancer Society (ACS). I am the mission delivery chair for the Relay for Life of Elmore County.

Since this community gives through the Relay for Life, I feel it is important that our citizens know where the money is going. Throughout the year, I will be submitting letters to keep you informed.

As the mission delivery chair, I also feel it is important that our community knows about the programs and information that is available to them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, do you know what you need? Not sure where to start? The ACS has information that can help you understand cancer. Go to www.cancer.org or call 1-800-ACS-2345.

Whether you know what you need, be it a definition for a strange word you heard at the doctor's office, a wig, or more information on a loved one's treatment options, or if you are not sure where to start, call on us. Our extensively trained specialists help thousands of callers find answers. You will always find a warm voice on the other end of the line that will stay on the phone as long as you need.
