Express Roll Off Dumpsters of Brevard County, FL Donates to Charitable Events
Express Roll Off Dumpsters Believes in Giving Back
Express Roll Off Dumpster Rental of Brevard County, Florida, prides itself on giving back to community events and charitable organizations. One of those functions was April’s American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life in the South Beaches at Satellite Beach High School. Express proudly donated a dumpster to the cause and attended with the owner’s wife’s mother-in-law, Sue, who has been cancer-free and in remission for nearly ten years.
Relay for Life: Symbolizing a Cancer Patient’s Journey
Relay for Life is an 18-hour event creatively intended to symbolize a cancer patient's journey. The event begins in the afternoon and moves through the evening, symbolizing the post-diagnosis period. As the hours go on, treatment becomes tiresome, possibly making the patient feel like giving up. The camp continues overnight, with the sunrise appropriately representing the strength and hope to continue the fight against cancer and ultimately survive.
A Moving Survivor Lap and Personal Stories
Saturday’s survivor lap was moving and opened the ceremony with testimonials from local community members sharing their personal battles and triumphs with cancer. When Sue told her story, we teared up remembering her bleak initial diagnosis. She had a rare strain of lymphoma/leukemia when the owner’s daughter at Express was only in kindergarten. The oncologists at the time did not expect Sue to survive more than a few months. After six CHOP therapy treatments, numerous Neupogen injections to build and maintain her immune system, and an autologous bone marrow transplant at the Moffitt Center in Tampa, she proudly received a purple shirt and a medal at the Relay for Life.
Join the Fight Against Cancer
The American Cancer Society holds Relay for Life events at different locations throughout Brevard. It’s a fun day packed with great people, food, and various vendors. More than that, it’s a learning experience and an opportunity to give to a worthy cause. Bring your family and friends out for the weekend and walk in someone else’s shoes.
Cancer does not discriminate; it affects those young and old. We can all help the cause by attending one of the numerous Relay for Life fundraising events here locally in Brevard. The American Cancer Society usually has teams and goals set to raise money for cancer research. We are so excited and pleased to announce that the South Beach event surpassed its goal this year.
