RELAY FOR LIFE: The Eleanor B. Daniels Fund had a booth and supported the 2011 American Cancer Society's Relay for life, June 22, 2011 at the Champlain Valley Exposition.
We helped to raise funds to support the ACS, as well as to honor and support all women who are affected by gynecologic cancers. 
PT360 of Williston, Vermont offered free chair massages to survivors and caregivers in our booth for the second year and they were a bit hit!
We also encourage all survivors and their caregivers to join us again next year at this event.
