Survivors

In Honor of

Michele Harris-Dixon

Michele Harris-Dixon is the heart of Relay For Life of Southern Nevada. She is the team captain of Sisters of the Heart and one of the most dedicated members of Relay besides her Mom, Mary. She is a survivor of Cancer.  We joke that she and her Mom are Relay Bullies as they are not afraid of asking for sponsorships to help to Kick the crap out of cancer.  After retiring from UPS, I moved from Team UPS to Sisters of the Heart due to her inspiration.

In Honor of

Shelly Miller

Someone I affectionately call my Relay Wife, who has a lot of passion for helping the American Cancer Society and plays a mean game of pickleball.  

When I joined the Las Vegas ELT several years ago, she helped me understand what we have to accomplish. I was fortunate to be a co-lead with her during the 2021 campaign.

She is a survivor of Cancer for 20+ years

Cecilia Bridgewater

My sister. Probably the most loving lady I know.  You don't want her to hug you as it will hurt as she squeezes like her life depends on it.

She is a survivor of Breast Cancer

In Honor of

Aldro Grieco

Al was my best friend while I was in the US Air Force. I met him in Misawa AB, Japan, where he was a Senior NCO in charge of our office.   I know he settled me down and got me focused on doing the right thing even when no one is looking. 

He is a survivor of Prostate Cancer.

My favorite saying from him is, "Who Drank Boda?"
