Relay for Life

This summer's Relay for Life event is this Friday. It will be held at Haymarket Park on Friday night, starting at 7 pm and lasting until 7 am Saturday morning. Each team will have its members take turns walking the track. At least one member from each team must be walking. I'm excited about it. We've been fund raising for this event for quite a while. And now that the week of the relay is here, it's finally set in that I'll have to stay up all night long! I haven't done that since studying for a college final at Wesleyan. But the point of it is sleeplessness and fatique is something that cancer patients routinely endure. It's fitting that the relay has the format that it does.

There are several activities that will be going on during the relay. One event will be an auction. All procedes going to the American Cancer Society of course. We're going to auction off this rock at the Relay for Life event. It was donated to our team by Big Red Custom Rocks. I spoke to the owner of the company. He's donated items before and is very supportive of the cause.
