My name is Kelly Conlan. I just recently relocated from Baldwin, NY to Rochester, NY.
My family has been very involved in the American Cancer Society over the past few years, you could say everyone there has become somewhat of an extension of our family.
My husband was diagnosed in 2009 with a very rare form of cancer. This was not supposed to happen to us (at least that is what I thought).We had just had our 3rd child and we were completely blindsided. We had no idea about how our lives were about to change significantly.
We were unbelievably fortunate that the community of Baldwin, along with our family and friends, were there in ways that still amaze me. So when my kids came home with a flier for the Relay in their backpacks I knew I had to get involved. I wanted to pay it forward. Little did I know that this would soon become such an integral part of my life.
You may ask yourself why is this person still involved in Baldwin's Relay? My answer is simple-because I care. I hope that my blogs serve as not only a reference that you and your teams can go to for ideas about fundraising in today's economy, but also a place that you can write posts and give ideas about how together we can create a world with more Birthdays.
I am happy to say that my husband is in remission and feeling great today. We must always remember to count our blessings daily and reflect on how we can show our gratitude on a daily basis to others around us!
Some come on Baldwin let's Rally and make a difference !
