Relay For Life May Fall Short
by Steve
5/27/2007 09:53:00 PM
The second annual Menifee Relay for Life, a charity event to raise money for cancer research, is in jeopardy of falling short of its goals, not just in fundraising, but in lack of participation.
Whanda Madrid, who is helping to coordinate this event, published a commentary in today's edition of The Californian...
I have volunteered my time to go door to door to the majority of the Menifee/Sun City business three times and no one has responded. I went to major department stores, small businesses, banks, dental offices, hair and nail salons, cleaners, flower shops, restaurants and elementary schools from along Newport Road.
The few volunteers helping to make this year successful are discouraged and disappointed by the lack of participation and donation.
You can read her full commentary here...
http://www.nctimes.com/..../52707180935.txtWhat I wanted to ask readers here at Menifee 24/7, why they think people and businesses are not enthusiastic about this event.
- Has cancer not struck someone in your family?
- Will there never be a cure for cancer?
- Are we safe from cancer if we eat low fat and don't smoke?
The fact is that you can get cancer just by living in the IE and breathing the bad air.
I think that one problem is that we become numb to cancer's threats because cancer permeates everything in life. Just a couple of weeks ago, there was a report that oral sex increases your chances of throat cancer. There are reports that barbecuing hamburger produces far more cancer-causing agents than baking a meatloaf. I wouldn't be surprised if certain types of scented toilet paper will increase your chances of rectal cancer. It gets to the point where EVERYTHING causes cancer, and we resign ourselves to accept it.
I guess I'm one of the ones who dragged his feet on this charity event. I already had plans to be out of town that weekend, but I wrote Whanda and asked her about making a donation.
If you want to help out also, get ahold of Whanda at this web address...

Fighting Cancer in Menifee
by Eric
11/18/2005 11:52:00 PM
I recieved this letter from The American Cancer Society at my cityofmenifee.com website. I thought I would pass it on! Contact: Ruben Longoria Jr.American Cancer Society(951) 300-1232
Good morning,The American Cancer Society is looking to hold an special community event in Menifee next summer (2006) called Relay For Life.This is a 24 hour, team event where families, clubs, businesses, schools and the rest of the community walk around a track raising money in the fight against cancer. In addition and most importantly we spread awareness about this horrible disease. Teams will walk around the track from Sat. 9am to Sunday 9am. Each team needs to have 1 walker on the track at all times. In addition we have activities in which we honor local Cancer Survivors and those people whohave lost the battle against cancer. Menifee was selected to host this event and I am looking to form a committee to help organize this Relay For Life. If you are interested, please send me a email or call me. If you want to learn more about this event, please look at our website (www.cancer.org) and look under Relay ForLife. As of today, we do not have a location nor a committee, this is justa "Baby event" but we have plans to make this an annual community event. In addition, the American Cancer Society has many, many resources we wantto share with the residents of Menifee. We have speakers avaliable for talks at schools, clubs, organizations regarding cancer or programs developed for school-age children as well as providing services for those who have cancer. If you know of anybody you think might want to be involved in this event,please forward this email to them. I am hoping to hold a "InterestedParties" meeting in late Nov. or early Dec. Thank you for your time, Ruben Longoria Jr.American Cancer Society(951) 300-1232
