Thank You's
There are inumerable people to thank for the creation and content of this webpage and by no means is this list meant to be all inclusive. However, there are a few individuals who deserve special thanks:
ALL OF YOU. Without the support and involvement of the participants, staff and volunteers of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, there would be no Relay For Life!
ALL CANCER SURVIVORS EVERYWHERE. Thank you for being strong enough to fight this dreaded disease and being part of the driving force to find a cure!
MOHAN KARTHA AND HIS ASSOCIATED COMPANIES, including Mindshare, Inc. and Syntech Development for his web hosting of this site and other Relay related sites, innumerable hours of aid in setting up webpages and maintainaing them, and his friendship and patience.
MICHAEL JACOB, for creating the incredible on-line discussion forum for Relay For Life at relayamerica.com... It is an incredible way to take our sharing of checklists, best practices, and Darn Good Ideas to another level!
CHRIS MADDOX, for creating the first really great Towson, MD website (mine was archaic...), his exemplary North Baltimore County, MD website, sharing all his content and code and ideas (and thanks to those who shared with him), for letting us reapply a lot of it on the ACS RFL MAD Website, and most of all, his friendship and support.
JENNIFER HUGHES, for co-developing the ACS RFL MAD Best Approaches and Standards Manual for Event Chairs with me, and for patience in making it come together... Hopefully it will be a standard, useful tool for Relayers everywhere.
CATHERINE PEPONIS, for paiently teaching me how to make the website look and work better. You can all thank her!
CARL MITCHELL, DEBBIE GRESHAM,AND DAWN SNYDER for providing such extensive feedback for the development of the Chairman's Checklist Manual.br>
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RELAY FOR LIFE MID-ATLANTIC DIVISION TASK FORCE, for their support in developing the Best Approaches and Standards Manual for Event Chairs - never mind that you're one of the best bunch of people I've ever worked with!
KAREN TURNER AND GEORGE NEWCOMB, who among innumerable other people have taken the time to e-mail their great examples from their region to help others not to have to reinvent the wheel. Thanks to Karen and George and all of you who have taken the time to write to share your thoughts and RFL examples!
THE INUMERABLE RELAY FOR LIFE RELATED WEBSITES OUT THERE, which possess great ideas and inspiration that have led to this (still developmental) framework of a Mid-Atlantic Relay For life Website... We have a long way to go, but the great ideas from around the nation are just one part of our quest for a cure! :)
ALL OF YOU, ONCE AGAIN - who were crazy enough to read this far down! :)
THANKS TO http://www.grsites.com for providing the free service to create the buttons on all pages!
