The American Cancer Society Relay For Life - Kailua, HI 2009
On July 25th, the community of Kailua gathered at Kailua High School after several months of fundraising to celebrate those who have beaten cancer, remember those we've lost and fight back with not only donations to the American Cancer Society, but by increasing awareness of the importance of early detection and lifestyle choices. Cancer is taking less people every year as we win these small battles on the way to eliminating this terrible disease. If you'd like to know more about how you can help in the fight, visit the American Cancer Society web site or call 1-800-ACS-2345.
