News: APEX Gymnastics Hopes to Raise $10K for Cancer Research in Relay for Life

(Apr. 6, 2010) - For the fourth year in a row, APEX Gymnastics is taking part in Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research. Last year APEX raised almost $8,000 and the goal this year is to raise $10,000.

APEX co-owner Melanie Cuozzo wrote: "While I realize many of you are far away, cancer is something that affects all of us. At APEX Gymnastics we strive to give back to our community. We strive to teach our athletes that they can make a difference. Fighting cancer is a team effort. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone."

At the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, the APEX team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer.

"By joining or donating to our team, you will be a part of a life-changing event that gives everyone in the community a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much," wrote Cuozzo. "Please make a donation and join our team and help us create a world where cancer can no longer claim another year of anyone’s life."
