Jennifer Reed is Office Manager for the Clerk of Superior, State and Magistrate Court, but she did not speak to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville on Feb. 16 about that role. She is an active supporter and volunteer for the Gwinnett County Relay for Life program and spoke to the group about that upcoming event at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. Last year Gwinnett Country received the honor of being named #1 Relay in the World, and she seeks support for the May 8-9 event to make it as good as ever. She explained that the event runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. to symbolize that “Cancer never sleeps.” She first dispelled myths about the Relay for Life: it is NOT a relay, nor a race, and one doesn’t have to run. She provided information about the various activities of the American Cancer Society, which was founded in 1986 and which has become a world-wide activity with 5,000 communities in 20 different countries raising over $5 billion dollars.  Services supported by the American Cancer Society include smoking counseling, diet and screening information, a 24/7 phone line, Hope Lodge to help families who have to travel for treatment, and transportation for those who need rides to appointments. Ways individuals can help are to form a team, join a team, register as a Survivor, raise funds and awareness, or volunteer on Relay days. Information is available at cancer.org.
