Relay For Life - Cindy S. Krivoshik

The Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.

Teams come together to build community spirit, to honor loved ones and fight cancer – and have fun in the process.

This Web Site is

dedicated in loving memory of

Lois Horvath, RN

who participated in the 2006 Relay For Life South County Hunterdon but

lost her battle with cancer on Wednesday the 15^th of November 2006.

R. Kenneth Totten

who wanted to speak at the South County Hunterdon 2007 Luminaria Ceremony but lost his battle with cancer, before he could, on Sunday the 1^st of April 2007 at his farm & home where he was born and resided all his life in East Amwell Township, NJ.

Relay for Life 2009 Chaired by Paula Krivoshik, a Junior at Bridgewater College, the 2009 Relay For Life of Bridgewater College on Friday April 17^th from 6 PM to Saturday April 18^th 7 AM at their Campus Mall, Bridgewater, VA, with 49 teams & 640 participants raised over $56,100, exceeding their previous record in 2005 by over $28,000. But the Relay For Life is much more than a fundraiser. It is about joining students and others across the globe in a worldwide movement to end cancer. It’s about being a campus and a community that takes up the fight! Many Luminaria Bags were personalized with messages, pictures & more by sponsors to Honor, Support and Remember their loved ones.

Paula, you have exceed all of your RFL goals and have blown away the previous BC RFL record from 2005 by doubling the money raised then.

WOW, a FANTASTIC job Paula. What more can we say...

You have accomplished a lot you should be proud of.

We are VERY PROUD of you Paula.

2008 Post event comment

June 13, 2008

Thank you for sponsoring me & supporting the American Cancer Society’s South Hunterdon Relay For Life. The 2008 Relay For Life has marked my 7^th year of survivorship & participation. This May the weather was great for a change. The relay raised $52,000 which even exceeded our goal. This money will go to research for cancer treatments & cure, and that is why I do it.

Thanks to your support our team was once again recognized for the Most Team Spirit, as a Top Individual Fundraiser & as a Top Team Fundraiser. Thanks so much to those who came out to join us. A very special thanks to my dear family & friends, who spent countless hours before, during & after the relay helping me to make this relay a success. They were relentless in their efforts with the Luminaria, doing laps, set up, clean up & I really couldn’t have done it without them.

I think we all recognize the enormous & intense physical effort that preparation & participation in the Relay For Life requires. While I find myself somewhat torn, for my health & in the best interest of my family I will be taking a much less active role in the Relay For Life next year.

I wish you all good health & urge you to continue to fight back against cancer.

Sincerely,

Cindy Krivoshik

2006 Post event comment from the Luminaria Chairperson

I apologize to everyone for not making it to the Relay as I kept vigil with family & friends at our daughter Laura’s bedside gravely concerned if she would even survive that night. I want to thank everyone for your many prayers for Laura. I thank everyone from my two teams who showed up & relayed for me. Thank you to everyone who helped at the Relay to put out and cleanup the Luminaria. I thank everyone who supported, sponsored, & inspired me, bought Luminaria from & for me & helped me raise over $8,000 that our team turned in of the Relay’s $57,000.

Introductory remarks to the 2006 Luminaria Ceremony May 19^th, 2006

I apologize that my wife Cindy can not be here this evening. The Luminaria Ceremony has always had a very special meaning to her. Unfortunately as I speak, our 12 year old multiply‑handicapped daughter Laura, who has Rett Syndrome, after over 18 hours of uncontrollable seizures is in an ambulance with a special transport team taking her from Hunterdon Medical Center to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

We must never forget that the real meaning of The Relay For Life is not about fund raising or medical research, it is about family, friends & community. It is about my beloved wife, a 5 year breast cancer survivor, it is about children who have a parent with cancer, it is about children with cancer like little Nicholas Hope¹ who is here tonight. It is about my Godmother & Aunt Agnes Bulich and my Uncle Richard Breese who both very painfully lost there battles with cancer when I was quite young. It is about my Aunt Anne & Uncle Joseph Felix and our neighbor Ken Totten² who each are now fighting their battles with cancer. It is for them as well as for others that we raise funds…

Survivors, patients battling cancer, and those who have lost their battle with cancer are honored during the Luminaria ceremony. Luminaria with the honored persons' names on them are placed around the track and lit at dusk. These Luminaria stay lit all night and literally, as well as symbolically, light the way for walkers through the darkness.

Thank you.

David Peter Krivoshik
