Relay for Life This Month in Westchester and Putnam Counties, June 2011

The American Cancer Society’s signature event, Relay for Life, will be held in towns throughout Westchester and Putnam Counties during the month of June. Since the first Relay in 1986 in Tacoma, Washington, the event has gained a national following. It is known as a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer, as participants celebrate cancer survivors and remember those lost to the disease.

Relay teams help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. They gather at schools, fairgrounds or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps, explains Brigett Lummel, publicity chair for Relay For Life of Mahopac. The survivors’ laps and the luminaria ceremony honor the people who have faced cancer firsthand, as well as those who lost their battle with cancer.

“This year we anticipate more than 4,000 people on more than 200 teams from Mahopac, Carmel, Brewster and surrounding towns, relaying to raise over $300,000,” Lummel says. “Money raised by Relay For Life of Mahopac will be used locally in the Hudson Valley by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.” Volunteers and donors support research, education, advocacy and services that allow the American Cancer Society to offer help and hope, she says.

Holistic Childbirth Classes Starting in Katonah, NY

Annemarie Martel

Annemarie Martel has begun offering childbirth classes at the New World Chiropractic Center in Katonah, NY. A licensed massage therapist, energetic healer, meditation teacher and mother of four, Martel recently expanded her practice by undergoing a Doula certification program and a Lamaze course. “I am passionate about pregnancy and childbirth,” she says. “Those are special moments in our lives which shape how we feel about ourselves, our partners and our children. How would the process look for each of us if we could let go of the fear of the unknown and trust in our bodies, our choices, and ourselves?”

Martel offers these classes in partnership with Dr. Christine Vlachos, who owns the chiropractic center. Dr. Vlachos is offering a free gentle touch chiropractic adjustment for registered couples as a way of providing additional holistic support during this precious time.

Classes are held Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9 p.m. for six consecutive weeks. In addition, Ms. Martel offers weekend classes. For more information, contact her at 914.482.2860.

Relay for Life Celebrates 25 Years, Activities in Westchester 2010

Relay for Life

A cancer diagnosis is scary, life changing and…a reason to grab at least 10 friends and family members and stay up all night celebrating? The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life invites participants to do just that at the annual overnight event that honors and celebrates cancer survivors. More than 4,800 relays will take place across America this year, 265 of them in communities throughout New York and New Jersey.

The event opens as cancer survivors of all ages walk, run, or move around a track for the first lap. This emotional display is followed by a festive atmosphere that develops around the track as teams of 10 to 15 people spend the night raising awareness and money to support cancer research, education, advocacy and services.

A highlight of the evening is the candlelight vigil, held at nightfall to honor cancer survivors and remember those lost to cancer. The candles line the track and burn throughout the night to remind to participants about the importance of their involvement. Participants are also encouraged to fight back by learning about their own risk of various cancers based on their age, family history and race. At some locations this year, participants can enroll in a study to create better understanding about what causes cancer and how to prevent it.
