Goodbye Intern Rosanna!

Hello Rally community! I have been working with Rally for the past 3 months now and it is almost time for me to head back home to the land of books and bulldogs…UGA of course! While I am excited to head back for my last semester of school, I will miss the Rally family who has made me feel at home. I have learned so much and the experience I have gained here has been truly invaluable.

Over the past few months I have learned how to whip-up Active web pages for our Rally Athletes at lightning speed, how to manage a very busy schedule (because Rally IS always busy!), and most importantly, I have learned the importance of childhood cancer research. To the parents who have a child going through cancer treatment, research is everything. Thankfully, no child in my family has ever had cancer, but my dad suffered from lung cancer last summer and my older brother passed away at Christmas in 2008 from pancreatic cancer. So while my life has never been affected by childhood cancer, I have seen the devastating effects cancer can have on a family.

The people at Rally put their hearts and souls into raising awareness about the need for more childhood cancer research and their dedication is awe-inspiring. You will not find more devoted, sweet and hard-working people than Dean Crowe, Amber Johnson and Lauren Flanary. As I continue the process of figuring exactly where I want to go in my life, I will take the experience I have gained at Rally with me. Thank you to each and every one of you who have made my time here so special. Rally on!

Sincerely,

Intern Rosanna
