2. Survivor Spotlight
Julie Frame
Julie, a single mother of two sons and computer
teacher at Gunstream Elementary School in
Frisco, was not feeling well. In early 2010, she
visited her doctor, explained her symptoms and
was treated for pneumonia. After two months,
Julie was still not feeling well and went for a
second opinion. The X-rays revealed spots on
her lungs and following more extensive testing,
Julie was diagnosed with lung, liver and colon
cancer. In April 2010, Julie was given 1-1/2
months to live.
Julie began the excruciating journey of chemotherapy treatments. She
would drive to her appointments and sit in her car outside of North Texas
Cancer Center and cry. If it wasn’t for her love of her two young boys and
her prayers to the Lord, she would have not of made it through. Julie made a
trip to Durant, Oklahoma to visit with Pastor Andrew Wommack (known for
his healing prayer ministry). He placed his hands on her and prayed with her.
Many patients who have endured the same treatments Julie did have chosen
to stop and opt for hospice care. Not Julie, she fought her way through. Be-
cause she refuses to miss her son’s football games, she often has to lie down
on the field.

3. Survivor Spotlight, cont
Having taught at Gunstream Elementary for 9
years, Julie’s impact is clear. She has not
missed one day of school since her treatments
began. If needed, she Skypes from the oncology office into her classroom
so she doesn’t miss valuable teaching time with her kids. To show their
support, Gunstream teachers and staff wear their “Team Frame” t-shirts
every Monday.
In December, her students asked a local radio station to help make a
memorable Christmas for their teacher. The station, KLTY-FM, received
more than 380 letters for Julie. The Gunstream staff along with KLTY
surprised Julie with an assembly in her name. The KLTY representative
presented Julie with thousands of dollars for her insurance deductibles, a
free trip for her and the boys, as well as months of rent payments.
Julie’s experience has inspired her to help others. She is forming “His
Foundation” which is an organization for Single Parents in Need Battling
Cancer (SPIN-BC). There will soon be a website available with a prayer
line and online resources for single parents who are battling cancer.
Now on maintenance treatments every other Tuesday, Julie has beaten
the odds and is now mentoring others who are facing the same treat-
ments that she went through. Julie is an amazing woman full of love, God’s
will and strength. She is an true inspiration to all those who surround her.
We look forward to walking with Julie and “Team Frame” at Relay For Life
Frisco this year!

4. Frosty 5K
Ohhhh the weather outside….well, it wasn’t exactly frightful but it was a little chilly!
Thank you to the Relay Committee Members who braved the cold and wind to participate
in the Frisco Frosty 5K and Merry Mile on Saturday, December 11.
I ran the Frosty 5 K and all I got was this awesome t-shirt!

5. Relay Committee Workshop
In November, several members of the Frisco committee
met in Irving for the very first Relay Workshop! The
Workshop was led by the North Texas Regional Council,
which is made up of volunteers from around the Re-
gion. Event Chairs from all Regional Relay For Life events
met for a Retreat Friday evening. They enjoyed dinner
and brainstorming with other chairs in their area. There
were also breakout sessions to discuss in detail the roles
Kristen Scherer (left) , and Tracy Fenwick
and responsibilities of the Event Chair.

On Saturday, other members of the committee joined in
from 2010 Chair, Michelle Skene (center).
the Workshop to discuss their responsibilities for each
committee. The Teams Committee met to discuss new and fresh ideas, including changes to the
team sizes. The Online Committee met to discuss new features that will be made available on
each Relay’s websites. The Accounting Committee met to be trained on the new online ac-
counting system that will be used in 2011. And, the Sponsorship Committee met to uncover new
ways to approach potential sponsors.
Relay Workshop was a huge success to make sure
that those committee members with roles and re-
sponsibilities that require time commitments earlier
in the year are properly trained and have the tools
they need to carry out those duties.
The North Texas Regional Council did a wonderful job
of helping each Committee identify their strengths,
areas for improvement, and help solidify their focus
going into the new year!

7. Facebook News
Don’t forget to “Friend” Us on Facebook!
The Relay For Life Frisco 2010 Event Video is now available on Facebook!
The Facebook Fundraising Application has been turned off and now redirects to
RFL.org in prep for 2011. For anyone that used the application to fundraise via
Facebook, your totals will no longer display. With the redesign of our Facebook
pages, the fundraising application can no longer be placed within a box on the left
side of a Facebook page and must be moved to a tab. For those that don’t know how
to move an application from a box to a tab, a short “how to” video will walk you
through the process, http://screenr.com/a90.
