Ross, Taylor and Kym Martin
are Celebrating!

 


We celebrate many milestones in life – birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations.  It’s in our nature to want to mark the most significant milestones with some sort of tribute, be it a party, a gift or some special memorial.  This June, I will celebrate my
25th year as a Cancer Survivor.  

Anyone who has been touched by cancer knows that reaching such a milestone is an extremely uncommon event.  I am profoundly aware of my good fortune in reaching this mark and know that many affected by cancer’s relentlessness will not be so fortunate.  My life could have been cruelly cut short were it not for the excellent care I received after I was first diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma the month following my 17th birthday.  But my battle is not over – nor is it over for the millions of people affected by cancer each year. 

This is why I have decided to have a celebration we can all share by making it a part of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life® on May 3rd and 4th in Damascus, Maryland.  My admittedly audacious goal is to raise $25,000 – that’s $1000 for each priceless year I’ve enjoyed since my diagnosis.

 

The major theme of each Relay for Life throughout the world is HOPE.  Hope for a future free from the scourge of cancer.  Hope for the families who have lost loved ones.  Hope for another year of life for those battling cancer.  My hope is that through my passionate and diligent quest to learn all I can about nutrition and fitness I can continue to optimize my health and the health of those I am blessed to counsel.

 


So please join me in celebrating the Hope this 25-year milestone represents by helping my team, the Cancer Connection, to achieve this goal.  Whatever the gift, be it $2.50 or $250, I will be grateful for your help in raising $25,000.  Click here to safely donate through my page on the ACS Relay for Life website.  You will also find details on ordering Luminaria to honor and remember your loved ones (as shown in the picture above) and on two wonderful Survivor Celebrations available for you and your loved ones to enjoy. 

Best of health,

Kym
