Relay for Life

So last week-end was the Relay for Life up in Marion. The company sponsored a team again this year. Over $60,000.00 was raised by the Marion relay for cancer research.

Here's our team during the initial team lap:
 

One major way to raise money is to sell luminaries in honor of people who are currently fighting cancer or in memorial for those who have lost their battle with cancer. You can say that Grandma J. lost her brief battle with cancer last fall...but I don't think it's fair to say she lost. She graciously surrendered so that she could finally go home....
 

A light for everyone that cancer has touched...
 

The relay is almost a 24 hour event. Not only does it raise money, but it also provides awareness, new friendships and hope. Here, we watched the sun rise on a new day...
