Welcome!

You've found our team's Relay For Life site! We come together each year, to be involved in the Relay For Life for the American Cancer Society. From the Mt. Rainier Complex, we spend several months raising money and awareness about cancer, and celebrate our success with a 24 hour event called the Relay For Life.

An article in the Tacoma News Tribune sums up why we are involved:

From an outsider’s perspective, participants in the Relay For Life might appear a little crazy.

They choose to live in a high school stadium for 24 hours with several thousand other people. They form teams, walk the track nonstop, set up a ‘tent city’, and survive the elements of the Pacific Northwest - often without any cover from the rain, sleet, hail or occasional ray of sunshine. What could motivate these “Relayers” to do this?

Relayers come from every walk of life – old and young, families and workplaces, schools and churches. While each team has its own reason to Relay, these teams unite in common cause for a day and a night to focus on a shared reason – the HOPE for the CURE.

To remember those we’ve lost...
John Moller is remembered for his laugh and his ability to find the good in everything. Diagnosed with brain cancer in late 2003, he cherished each of his last days with his family and friends. Following his death in 2004, his colleagues at Merrill Lynch broke a national record in fundraising for a rookie (new) team.

“The Relay was the perfect way to honor him,” team captain Debbie Duncan said. “Forming a team united our employees to fund research for the cure as hard as John had done in his fight against cancer.”

At our site, you'll find a little about our 2006 team.

You'll find photos of our teammates, and if you click on them, you'll read their story of why they Relay. You'll find out what to expect at this year's event. You'll find resources to help you or a loved one who has cancer.

But most of all, we hope to inspire you to be involved...as we are.

It's about being a community that takes up the fight.

And we need you.
