Gary, better known as Gary the Mime, was a member of my Relay For Life Family and has been one of our ambassadors over the years. My favorite memory of him was during COVID-19. We had to have a drive-through relay, and he was our grand marshal. He was in costume, driving his little red convertible car, waving and having a grand old time.
He was a long-term cancer survivor who recently lost his battle with Cancer. He will be deeply missed. Relay won't be the same without him
Here was his video on being a cancer survivor

In Honor of
Becky Liston
Becky is a member of my Relay For Life Family. I don't know of a time that she has not made me laugh every time we meet. She is feisty, and my favorite words to hear from her are " Bridge, Shut Up" after I have given her some playful banter. Her fun-loving personality lights up the room.
She is a long-time cancer Survivor

In Honor of
Ken Gallacher
Ken is the President and Grandmaster of the United Fighting Arts Federation. He is a cancer Survivor.
He lives by faith and leads by example. He treats everyone like a member of his family.
My favorite memory of him was during a sparring class in which I was sparring with my instructor, his Daughter, Master Tara Cox. I was practicing spinning heel kicks, and she lunged in. I threw a blind technique, which caught her in the face near her eye. He was so concerned for his daughter that he bum-rushed me out of the way to get to her. He is small in stature but big in power! Don't be fooled he is deadly. I learned a valuable lesson that day. No blind techniques!

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.
