Relay for Life question...survivors lap
I just registered to walk in this weekend's RFL event. I'm doing the survivor lap and wondered if my husband can walk with me, too?
Anyone know?

Yes he can! I was still doing Chemo when I did mine and wasn't sure I could make it around. They usually have golf carts there just incase too. You will love the experience!
Have a great time!

I went to my first Relay For Life just awhile back and loved it! I was nervous and apprehensive, so, my hubby walked with me! He kind of drug me actually. lol I got real emotional, so, I was having some trouble, but, he locked my arm in his and off we went. I also had friends and some family that walked behind us. They all wanted to support me.
So, go and enjoy it and let your hubby walk with you! Anyone can walk with you!
Have a wonderful time and let us know how it goes for you.

I, too, am a little nervous and apprehensive. I knew I needed someone to walk with me so I'm glad he can! My kids are busy with work (and live out of town) so they wouldn't be able to make it by 6:00. I just decided today that I want to do this so maybe next year I can get more people together.
I'm afraid I might get a little emotional, too!
I'll let you know how it goes!

Patti, like you, i was apprehensive about my first Relay after diagnosis. Years ago I was very active in the Relay for Life, participating mainly because my father-in-law had been diagnosed with lung cancer. i found the experience to be very fulfilling, and did work on that project for about six years. After moving out of the area, I didn't rejoin the Relay team, except as a attendee at the event in my new town. In 2008, after moving again, I was diagnosed with breast cancer within one month after settling in my new home. In September of that year, I walked my first Relay as a survivor. The emotion was so surprising to me, as I had been exposed to the event as an organizer, and not a survivor. Do make that Relay, and take along as many as you like to support you. It is exilerating, as well as emotional, and certainly is something you will forever remember. This year I plan to be there as part of the organizing team, as well as a survivor. Can't wait.

Patti, anyone can walk with you. You don't have to walk alone and many don't. Some in wheelchairs of course need help, but, many just can't do it alone.
You go and have a good time. And, thanks for taking us with you!
Hugs, Debby0
