I raised money for Relay for Life last Friday. Relay for Life is a fund raiser for cancer research. I was surprised at how many people went to the actual relay. All races and ages of people were at the event. The relay took place at a local high school (I can't remember which one now).
I really enjoyed being there. I went with my sorority, Alpha Gam, and we had a beach-themed tent. All of the children gravitated toward our tent because of the gigantic beach ball and blow-up fish. I really enjoyed playing with all of the children.
This event was especially important to me because of my grandfather who died suddenly, less than a year ago from cancer. The march of the survivors around the track was very moving, as were the laps made by loved ones of those who have died from cancer.

I've been to a couple of those and they are really moving. I haven't been to the cancer relays though, I did a walk for diabetes and leukemia once.
