I signed up for Relay For Life for 2012. Relay For Life is:

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that helps communities across the globe celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

I signed up for Relay for Life because I have had friends and family affected by cancer and seen the toll that it can take on people as well as those who love them. I think that by working together and raising money for research we can help find a cure for cancer and rid the world of it.

The Relay For Life event is a really cool event that is held at a local college track. It is a 24 hour even that starts at 6 PM on Friday and goes to 6PM on Saturday. The different teams set up tents around the track and decorate their tent to the theme of the year. Then they sell things, sell food or have games kids can play and any money raised goes to their team total. There are constantly people walking around the track at all hours and there are different laps, like men dressing up as a woman and a survivors lap, a team lap, ect. It’s a really great fun event where people who never met come together for a good cause.

So I invite you if you feel so inclined to donate to my team and help us reach our goal and do our part. You can view my page here. Thanks!!
