I too am stunned by this terrible decision. I took my first walk as a survivior last year. Never in my life have I experienced such a heart warming event. The love that was shown to my wife and I is something that I will never forget. To deny that experience to other survivors and caregivers is a tragedy. I can not imagine that the relay for life would in any way detract from fund raising efforts on behalf of The Moffitt Center. Quite the opposite in my opinion. Each endeavor would shed more light on the other. Personally, if I am forced to choose as a result of this inane decision, considering the anger and distress that it has caused me, I will continue to support the relay for life and as much as I want it, I will find it difficult at best to continue to support The Moffitt Center.
