Well another year has past the finish line, The sixth Peggy Bock
Memorial Race For Hope is in the record books. The day started
out chilly so between that and the H1N1 our numbers were down
this year. But the enthusiasm for the Race was as high as ever.
So I want to thank all that attended Race For Hope Yesterday.
Thank you to all the sponsors, without you this day would not take
place. Thank you to the participants for coming out on a Sunday
and giving your support to those whose lives have been altered
by cancer. It means a lot to me and to them to see that others
care. Thank you to all the volunteers who offered cheers and
support along the way..we heard different comments on how
great the volunteers were so I appreciate your willness to help
on a Sunday morning. Thank you to Arnett Howard for once again
adding his musical touch to the starting and the finish line.
Thank you to Dr Caliguiri for another good talk about Hope in the
face of cancer. Due to research and dedicated workers at The
James there are more and more people crossing the finish line
and beating cancer.
We just need to keep working and keep the course open until all
have a chance to finish that line. So Race for Hope will continue
to be a support and help in whatever way it can to help those in
the race for their lives against cancer. And I hope all of you will
continue to be with me as we volunteer, cheer, offer support to
those that need it.
Thank You

support and hope for all cancer patients, their friends, and
families.
• to raise research dollar’s.
• to promote a healthy lifestyle by giving people an opportunity to
run and walk for a worthwhile cause.
• to promote early screening so that early treatment can begin.
•to let people know that colon cancer is the number 2 cause of
cancer deaths in the United States and if caught early it has a 90%
survival rate.
