Hello and welcome to one of my causes that I support.  I have had the fortunate opportunity to be involved with the Relay for Life Walk every year.  Although, I did not participate since this year, I really beleive in this cause. 

When I first moved to the city, from the country area, I did not know anything about the Relay for Life.  One day as I was a manager for another company, I got an invitation to participate in this worthwhile cause.  I did go to a first meeting, and started thinking that this would be a way to sorta pay back to the cancer society, and hospice, for taking good care of my parents when they were dying of cancer. And also thought that if we help to raise money, then one day, they will find a cure to help all and everyone who suffers from this dreaded desease. I started out with one team, and we would have fund raisers.  Cinnamon bread, and had food booths on special holidays in Hawaii to where we would have hugh block parties, and my team and family and friends, would sell plate lunches, which all of the food was donated either by my company, family and friends.  All of our profits would go towards Relay for Life. 

It was a good way to spend quality time with your loved ones, and working together with special friends that come to your aid whenever we needed help.  But most importantly was the thought that if we do this, if we work together and raise enough funds, we just may help make a miracle happen.  And we believe in this so much.  That is why we worked hard towards our goal, and it was so much fun to do.

The day of the big event, we would go to the public baseball park and start to set up our tents, and bring all our goodies to eat and drink.  Then after the survivors walk around the field, we would begin.  In the mean time we had entertainment, booths to check out, friends to visit who had their own teams.  Participate in contests.  We always came in first for the talent contest.  As the night went on, everone took thier turn in walking for Life.  Hubby was the last to make the final 15 hours of walking.  By that time the sun was rising.  Breakfast was made in the main tent of the Relay Walk For Life, and everyone shared one last meal together before we started to break down our camp sites and go home. 

Inside of me filled with alot of love, thankfulness, to all those who helped to make it happen.  And to God our Father, for giving us the strength and good health, for us to be able to do this.  One day soon, we will have and find a cure for the dreaded cancer.
