Last Friday we had the awesome experience of attending Relay for Life! It raises money for CANcer research while celebrating survivors and their caregivers. Of course the kids needed shirts to celebrate their Daddy:
When we arrived, the first thing we saw was this awesome message - "HOPE!"
They had boards for survivors to sign showing the number of years they have been CANcer FREE. It was great to see Allen sign that board. Can't wait until he can sign the 20 years plus board!
Then, all the survivors walk a lap by themselves while we clapped and cheered for them. It was great! Check out Allen carrying the banner!
After the first lap, the caregivers got to join in. A BIG thanks to Uncle David and Aunt Emily for joining in on the fun! (Emily is taking the picture.)
Next up was dinner! It was a gorgeous evening, so we all enjoyed sitting outside, relaxing, and just being together.
I had to get a shot of the kiddos with their Daddy. Check out that attitude from Brookelyn!
Relay for Life allows you to honor people who have fought CANcer with luminaries. Even cooler, they let you decorate them. Here are the kids decorating a luminary for Daddy:
It turned out beautifully!
Once it is dark, everyone does a lap looking at the luminaries. It was a time to reflect on the journey that has brought us here. What a wild and crazy journey it has been.
