We walk for a cure...

today we did a good thing. we walked in a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society called relay-for-life. basically we (team sole train) had a table and sold cupcakes & did face painting and walked and had a great time. Our team goal was$5,000 and we raised like $1400 towards it, but still that is more to go towards finding a cure to this horrible horrible disease.

The thing that touched me immensely was the "luminaria"- all around the track in white bags with sand were candles. On each bag was the name of a person who passed from cancer. Tricia purchased one for mom [in loving memory] this final walk of the evening, the cancer survivors were positioned around the track & someone started the walk with a torch and as everyone went around more & more people came behind them clapping and supporting them...we stand behind them always. It was amazing and emotional and a very touching tribute to those that passed/those that survived/& those that are there to fight this fight.
