Relay For Life

We did it. We Relayed for Life. The weather was bad in the night (rain and wind) but as you can see the sun shone all day long. Our team the Amazin' Grace did a wonderful job. Some fun facts. This is our second year as an official Relay For Life. Last year we had 5 teams this year we had 13 teams. Last year no one stayed up all night, this year at least 4 teams had someone stay up all night. We played basket ball, cards, danced, sang, shivered, ate and walked that track all night long. We did have someone walking all night long. I am so proud of my Youth, they did it. They were great and enthusiastic and Karla and Paula and I (Youth group Leaders for Grace Lutheran) made it all night long right along with them. Pictures below are of me in warm up mode, the official opening ceremony, the line up of Luminaria and of coarse Karla and Paula taking a needed rest. I personally logged 8 miles with 18,410 steps, and raised $58 myself. Numbers are still out for the team but we were in the lead for the Relay with number of participants and money raised. Already looking forward to next year.
