The JHH Relay for Life team had an enjoyable time at the event this year. We got all dressed up for a Luau with our grass skirts (yuck!) and colorful leis.
The most memorable and inspirational part of the evening occurred during the "Survivor Lap". This was a very special lap around the track for people of all ages that have had cancer and beat it. Those amazing folks had some great big smiles on their faces as they marched in unison to the thunderous applause of the crowd. I think they were so happy not just because they took on cancer and won, but they realized that with the help of events like "Relay For Life" that there would one day be a cure for cancer.
Speaking of all that walking...I 'logged' 31,501 steps on my pedometer. That's over 11 miles! Next year in P.E. we will be using pedometers and attempting to 'log' enough miles to walk around the United States! I can't wait to use the new equipment with everyone, but it will have to wait until after FIELD DAY!!
i bet your legs hurted.
