SURVIVOR WALL AT RELAY FOR LIFE OF DAVIDSON COUNTY
Ever wonder how survivors feel about their experience with cancer or how others can benefit?
May 17, 2013 – Local non-profit organization Letter to Lindsey, Inc. will have a survivor wall at their team area this coming Friday for Relay for Life of Davidson County. The organization will build an “Autograph Your Life” wall of stories at the event. Letter to Lindsey is asking for anyone with a story to tell to stop by the team’s area and donate their story as a way to help others.
The organization donates wigs to individuals with cancer, but also provides letters from previous cancer survivors, their families or caretakers that are donated along with the wigs as a way to inspire and encourage the wig recipient.
During the Relay for Life event Letter to Lindsey is inviting all cancer survivors, those currently battling or even caretakers and family members of those no longer with us to drop off their story and place it on the “Autograph Your Life” survivor wall.
Organization President and cancer survivor, Stacy Vanzant says, “This is a unique and great way to help others going through this disease. Each and every story can help inspire and motivate others that are currently suffering with cancer.”
To donate a story, email info@lettertolindsey.org prior to the event and it will be placed on the wall. During the event stop by the team area and fill out a story form or drop off your story. Stories can be submitted anonymously or have a signature. Letters will be used to accompany future wig donations.
To find out more contact Letter to Lindsey President, Stacy Vanzant or stop by the team area during the event for more information.
