Relay for Life 2013

This years Relay for Life was really close to my heart.  March of 2012, my dad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.  After surgery and several rounds of chemo, I am happy to say he is cancer free. Several months later my Auntie Joan was diagnosed with Uterine cancer.   My sisters and I decided that we wanted to walk this year in Relay for Life to honor my dad and our Aunt.  We decided to make it a softball theme.  We raised around $1000, which we were very excited about.  It was a great event with great friends and family. We couldn't have done it without the help of our dear friends, Tenely, Aslaug and Bob.  They too were honoring several of their family members that have battled this terrible disease.  Tenley, Aslaug, Karen and I arrived early to set up, then the rest of the gang showed up.  Aunt Jennifer, Alyssa,  Janelle, Charles, Sarah, Peggy, Peggy's granddaughter, Wanda, Thomas, Uncle Ray, Tony, Bob, Robin, Sammy, MC, Dad and Mom.  It was quite a crew.  We can't wait to do it next year and maybe Dad will spend the night!!!!!
