Relay for Life
I participated in Relay for Life last Friday night. You fundraise money for cancer reasearch. Personally I did this fo my uncle who lost his battle with cancer in March. I raised over 100 dollars for him. It meant a lot to my family that I was participating in this event. I know that cancer is a huge problem and that they need money to cure it, I hope that the money we raised will help them do that.
Relay for Life is an event that you have a team of 10-15 people that you fundraise money for cancer research. At the event you get a Relay for Life t-shirt if you raised over 100 dollars. Your team take turns walking around the track for 12 hours. It sounds like a long time to stay up and its tiring to walk all night long, but if your doing it for a cause like cancer research you feel good because you help other people.
Along with the money that people rasie you can also buy things at the event, the money from that also goes to the cause. People can buy something called luminaries, you write the names of a loved ones who has passed away from or are battling cancer, as the picture on the side shows. Along with meaningful sayings on signs around where you can put the luminaries.
