Jay's post gives me an opportunity to make an important point.

At this year's Relay For Life of Second Life there will be relayers taking part from all over the real world, from at least 25 (and still counting) countries. Take a look around the Start Here area (illustrated above the article) or in the 26 relay stations along the track at RFL of SL. You will find information about relay in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.

According to Stingray9798 Raymaker, American Cancer Society representative in Second Life, 12-15% of all funds raised by RFL of SL goes to INTERNATIONAL causes.

Did you know, for example, that there is an ACS University? ACSU works to strengthen the capacity of emerging cancer societies in developing countries by training their staff and volunteer leaders in all aspects of running a community-based cancer control organization or program.

Have a good Relay!
