Relay for Life is in full swing this time of year with events going on at high schools and locations across the nation. The events feature all kinds of great activities. The survivor walks and testimonials, and luminary lined fields and stadiums are some of the most emotional and compelling. Hope overflows and courage & strength are contagious as those who lost their battles are remembered.
Entertainment of all sorts goes on throughout the day and into the evening. Games, food, and booths of fun galore abound around the grounds for spectators to visit and support with purchases and donations while dedicated teams walk the relay long into the darkness of the night. (I'll be with my team later today and into the night.)
All the events have a common cause to raise money for the American Cancer Society. They create family fun with a purpose. Find one near you. Get involved. Volunteer. Join a team or just visit the event and enjoy the festivities. You'll be glad you did!!! A good time will be had by all!!!
