What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length. My two Princesses and I attended a local Relay for life event in Tomah WI on June 5th, where we walked the track. We served cake and gave out water while encouraging cancer survivors. Everyone's reason to Relay is as unique as their own personal story. I personally was touched at this event. At Relay, you can find healing, comfort, and support from others who have faced cancer or who have lost a loved one to the disease. You have a chance to meet people in the community who are equally as passionate about finding an end to cancer in our lifetime. You can thank all the people who have done so much to support you through your personal cancer experience.
Thanks for your support! Have a "berry" great day! Enjoy some pictures!
