CHARITY

Lyndie chooses to support the American Cancer Society through her pageant platform.

Cancer is a subject close to Lyndie's heart.  She has worked with the American Cancer Society in Florida and Tennessee for over 15 years. 

From Lyndie:

"My life has been touched by this terrible disease. My grandfather lost his battle with lymphoma in 2004. Then, my mother was diagnosed with cancer in early 2006. I watched as she went through the testing, the waiting, the worrying, and ultimately the partial removal of her lung. 
-
I was completely ignorant to how many types of cancers existed until my mom was diagnosed. The American Cancer Society was my greatest resource in my research.

My close friend, Mike, lost his battle with throat cancer on November 14, 2007. He was a wonderful man and will be deeply missed.

Most recently, my dear friend Jerry passed away from liver cancer.  He was the owner of Baxters Wings in Middleburg, Florida which is one of my favorite places to perform. 

We must be more diligent in our fight to cure this terrible disease. I am looking forward to working with the Nashville Relay for Life event again this coming year"

Relay For Life is an overnight event that brings our community together to help support the American Cancer Society and its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. The Society works hard every day to prevent cancer and save lives by supporting groundbreaking research, affecting public policies that protect us from cancer, and educating people on how to prevent or detect cancer early. The Society helps people with cancer right here in our own community and our efforts at Relay For Life can help the American Cancer Society to keep working toward a cancer-free future.
