Our Uncle went to our local Relay for Life out in Riverhead, Long Island last Friday evening and unfortunately, he went alone because we had an all day family event to run for our marriage ministry the next day. He said there was no mention of Oral Cancer at ours. We will go with him next year. It sounded like a very nice thing to do. He enjoyed being around people who had lost someone they love to cancer, and buying and lighting a candle for Aunt Ro brought him some peace- of sorts. I think the "we are family" aspect of it is very nice.
