Relay for Life of Gwinnett 2025 - Swittx Sunflowers Fund

Help support my team, the Swittx Sunflowers for this year's Relay for Life of Gwinnett, presented by Primerica and Northside Hospital Cancer Institute. When my wife, Sara was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in 2022, our world was turned upside down. It was a rare, aggressive cancer mostly found in children, but it was even more rare and even more aggressive in young adults. Research and treatments were limited. When she passed away 9 months later, I pledged to direct my energy to helping fund research for cancers like hers. "Switt" is a mashup of her first and last name, Sara Wittenzellner. "Swittx" was the online name she used for her social media and livestreams. The sunflower was her favorite flower, what she called the members of her online community, and, ironically, a symbol of sarcoma awareness and hope. So in August 2023, I started the Swittx Sunflowers Relay for Life team. Swittx Sunflowers is a #GoldTogether team, which means 100% of the funds we raise is directed to funding research for childhood and young adult cancers, such as rhabdomyosarcoma, which took my wife, 29 years of age, after only 9 months of marriage.
