Relay For Life

Postby KBevangelist » May 16th, 2008, 5:49 am

Tonight my wife and I will be involved in our first. Our local church participates big every year we are looking forward to it.

I think we have raised close to 7000 bucks so far for cancer research.

Any one else get involved in Relay for Life?

I have done the Relay for Life every year, either walking or doing support work, since 2002 in honor of my late husband who died in 2002 from brain mets and my best friend's daughter who died at age 39 of breast cancer. This is such a rewarding experience I wish everyone could do this at least once. To walk the track at 2 or 3 AM and see the lights lining the track in honor of all that have fought the battle with cancer, some who survive and some who don't, can not help but touch you. Congratulations to you KB and your wife.

It was a TREMENDOUS experience. The county raised over 134, 000. Our church did close to 7000. I had ten of my youth out there and there was 70 on our team tonight from our local church.

It was chilly with high winds and that made it a little difficult. However, I will cherish this forever.

What touched me most a little boy less than two, no hair, wearing a survivor shirt, being cared around the track by his mother. Our God is merciful.
