Relay For Life

My family participated in the Relay for Life again this year.  It is a walk where you raise money for cancer.  I walked 26 miles this year.  It starts around 6:00 p.m. and goes to 6:00 a.m.  The point is starting it as the sun sets which is like when you get cancer.  You feel like the sun is going down on your life.  Someone is to walk on the track until the next morning.  The walk is the hard part which is like fighting cancer.  The walk ends at sunrise like when you are beating cancer the sun is coming up again.
 This is the survivor walk. 
 Here is our camp with all of the kids awake and excited for the night.

 All the kids in our family who came to Relay for life.

 Here we all are early in the evening.

 Marcy, me, Rachel, Mandy, Melissa, Sha'Nell & Kandice

 This is the next day so I am sure we are tired.  We might even be getting packed up at this time
 Mandy, Rachel and Kandace cheesing it for the camera at about 5 a.m.
 Brevin and Kreed just couldn't stay awake the whole time.
It is a great money maker.  Here we are taking our stuff down.  I walked 26 miles.  My feet are sore.  I will probably never run a marathon I just have to walk them.
