Mission Area Recording Instructions
Thank you for volunteering your time and helping LLS with the Scenic Shore mission area this year. Since we want to represent our entire Scenic Shore audience, we ask for you to record a short audio snippet with the sample text provided below that will be incorporated into a soundtrack. Please use the voice note app on your smart device (i.e – Voice Memos app on iPhone or Voice Recorder app on Android) to record this audio snippet.  

Once your audio snippet is complete, please upload to following link: https://eventage.app.box.com/f/7f3038b5a0c5436c9a5904869fa1f1e4  

Sample Text 
“I ride for _____” 
“My favorite part of the ride is _________”  

Examples: 
“I ride for my mom, a 5-year lymphoma survivor” 
“I ride to remember my grandpa Sidney, who we lost when I was only 5” 
“I ride because I love this community and I love LLS” “My favorite part of the ride is the finish line!” 
“My favorite part of the ride is the passion and community that spends two days together” 

 Some key points to remember when recording your audio snippet:  

• Speak in brief, clear sentences

POLICY AND ADVOCACY
Through our nationwide grassroots network of more than 100,000 volunteers, we advocate for policies at the state and federal level in a commitment to remove barriers to care for cancer patients. Our efforts have helped increase federal research funds, speed the review and approval process of new therapies and ensure patients are able to access lifesaving treatments. Many of the policies that we advocate for, at the state and federal levels, are universally beneficial for all cancer patients.
