Jon and I have a good friend of ours, Todd, that is fighting for his life. He was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma about a year ago and is still fighting but unfortunately the cancer is winning. His great wife Stephanie has been an advocate for helping raise money for the American Cancer Society and put together a team for Relay for Life. Her team raised over $2000! And the whole event raised over $138,000! The event went all night long and every team had someone walking on the track all night!
Todd was a trooper and took a lap around the track with his team.
This was most of the team, some were coming a bit later. We tried to dress in camo to honor Todd who loves to hunt.
These luminaries were set up to honor loved ones. These two were for Todd. There were luminaries around most of the inner track, it was beautiful!
They had a luminary ceremony and lit tiki torches in honor of cancer victims. These were scouts preparing to light the tiki torches. They did such a good job being reverant.
Every hour there was a different theme while walking the track. This was at 3am and the theme was the 50s.
We're rooting for Todd and hope for the best for him and his family!
I'm so glad that it went well. You are all amazing for doing that for Stephanie and Todd and all the other cancer survivors out there!
