Setting Up Luminaria
This year we participated in the American cancer Society Relay For Life. It started in February, a parent very comitted to the relay brought up the idea to the scouts. She asked if we could set out the luminaria, we decided to form a team. We didn't have a whole lot of time to mess around so we got right down to fundraising. The boys had a bake sale, sold luminaria, sold stars and moons and asked area businesses for donations. The boys were able to raise over 1400.00 for the Relay For Life.
The boys set up luminaria and had someone on the track for the entire eighteen hour event, which is incredible given the small size of our pack. We learned alot from the event, we really saw how many people are affected by cancer. We also saw that we CAN make a difference! We have decided to participate in the relay next year and we are looking to double our contribution! OUR INSPIRATION
We all have different reasons for wanting to find a cure for cancer. One of us “hates cancer”, because it took his “Me Me” away from him. Members of our pack have lost parents, friends, grandparents and other family members to this monster we call cancer. Some of us have helplessly watched as cancer slowly took the life from a loved one. We all know the destruction that cancer leaves behind; we all have our individual stories. We have one story in common, our inspiration for being here today.
Dennis has brain cancer, he’s had it since he was four. To us Dennis is a friend and a true inspiration. We go to school with Dennis when he is well enough, and we miss him when he’s not. We have prayed for Dennis when we know he’s going to the hospital for another surgery. We have cried when the news wasn’t what we wanted and we have cheered when he conquered another battle. Dennis is an amazing person, even though he is only 11, he is our hero.
We call him our hero because he is the bravest, strongest person we have ever had the honor to meet. He has had more thrown at him at age eleven than most people see in a lifetime. You won’t see Dennis feeling sorry for himself, we’ve been told that he said God gave it to him for a reason. Dennis has felt so much pain, pain we could never imagine. You would never know to look at him, Dennis always has a smile on his face and what a beautiful smile it is. Dennis stands proud, looks his enemy in the eye and never backs down. He has more courage than all of us put together, the makings of a real hero.
When Dennis grows up he wants to be a chaplain in the United States Army, he wants to help other people. He loves the United States Of America with a passion you seldom see. He has touched so many people, in many ways. He has shown us that nothing is impossible and how strong a person can be. So today when we take each step we will stand proud and walk in honor of Dennis. As we walk, we will be praying that everything that has been raised for The American Cancer society will be enough to give the scientists the tools they need to eradicate cancer from everyone’s lives.
