Nate and I participated in our first Relay for Life - we didn't stay the night, but we walked a few laps to help the team. Relay for Life helps to raise funds for cancer research. The relay begins at 6:30pm and ends at 6:30am the following morning so each team takes turns having a team member walk throughout the night. This is an important event as we know too many people affected by this disease. We walked for Uncle Jacob and Dorothy Campbell whom we have lost and also for Uncle Kenny who continues to fight the battle - and is winning! We walked for Auntie Vallena and Auntie Carrie who have overcome this disease and are living cancer free! We walk for each and every one touched by this terrible disease and we pray for a cure in the near future!
