The American Cancer Society’s RelayforLife is their signature fundraising event. Todd and Leslie have been involved in the Relay for Life event since the early 90’s so in 2005 when Leslie was asked to help start a Relay for Life event in Sherwood, Oregon she took on that challenge.
With only 3 months to plan it, the event raised over $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. Since the start of Sherwood’s Relay for Life event, Leslie was the event chair and Todd the logistics chair. For Sherwood’s 5th relay, Leslie is now doing pr and marketing and Todd is taking a break from being on the planning committee.
Please take a moment to watch our Sherwood Relay for Life Video invitation.
To help find a cure for Leslie’s father, a prostate cancer survivor who introduced Todd and Leslie to Salem, Oregon’s Relay for Life event. Her father, Ed Kuenzi is an amazing voice for all prostate cancer survivors. He represented ACS in Washington DC and in the early 90’s formed with his wife Marcy, a Prostate Cancer Support Group in Salem Oregon. They have helped hundreds of families with issues related to prostate cancer and how to live through it, to face it. Just recently, they were selected by Salem Hospital to be featured as a “real story” and “real people” making a difference in their community. Bravo mom and dad!
For Leslie’s grandmother and Aunt who had breast cancer.
For her Aunt Cleo, a petite and beautiful lady, who lost a 3 month battle with liver cancer in 2007
For Todd’s cousin who died as a teenager from brain cancer
For our Sherwood Oregon “cancer kids”…two have already lost their brave battles with cancer and we pledge to continue to raise awareness amongst our youth to be voices for cancer and participate in the Relay for Life event.
