Relay for Life is a 24 hour event held to raise money for cancer. It is held in many cities and many are willing to help, and each person just has to raise $100 each. It starts off with a little speech and a very heart warming survivor walk then everyone jumps in and joins the fun. Each team sells something at their camp site to raise even more money for cancer. The people who run it play games throughout the day and little stations for kids to have fun with arts and crafts. It is a great event that people get to camp out too.
This year my goal is to walk 20 miles! It's crazy I know but I'm going to be there for 24 hours so why not? Plus my mom will be there by my side. So this year I decided to captain my own team because it is such a great event. I'm getting friends and family together. My work place, Under Armour, is the one who is really helping me and we currently have 3 teams going from my work place. Cancer has touched so many people's lives that they are willing to do fundraisers like this. I personally have raised the $100 already but I'm not stopping there. I'm still asking for donations and seeing who can help out. I'm so excited even though it's in July, there is still a lot to do until then. LET'S GO TEAM UNDER ARMOUR 1,2, &3!
