Relay For Life!

tootsie1

This is my Relay For Life weekend. It's going to be an emotional time. It always is, but this will be more so. A dear member of our planning committee passed away last summer, and we're dedicating Relay to her. She loved flamingos, so our theme is "Flamingos Flock, Relayers Rock!" There will be pink flamingos all over the place.

We're also having a special ceremony to honor her, and her family will be present. There will be many, many tears. She was my "cancer twin," diagnosed the same year, had the same cancer, had the same first name. The only sad difference is that she was diagnosed at Stage 4. *sigh*

I'll give y'all a report on the event later!

*hugs*

It was great!
Relay was fabulous this year. So moving. We had a very touching ceremony for our dear friend who passed away, and those of us on the committee took a lap with her family.

Some of the girls in my youth group were on my team, and we had a lovely time dancing and staying up all night, all for the cause.
