The Relay for Life was June 5-6 at the Kanab High School track. The weather didn't cooperate very well, but I think everyone still had a fun time. It started at 6pm with a ceremony for cancer survivors and caregivers. Cindy & RosaLie walked the first lap that was designated for survivors and caregivers. We had a little camp set up in the middle of the football field. We set up a tent and chairs and had lots of food and drinks so we could sit around and visit while we were waiting our turn to walk. Everyone on our team did their part and helped with the walking. Lynn Button walked 46 laps for every year of Wade's life. A few of us stayed there all night and froze! It got down to 39 degrees! Who would have thought June would be that cold. Darrin, Austin, Jarrin, RosaLie, Cindy, and I stayed all night. Jarrin kept everyone entertained with his licorice dance and his funny comments. When he was ready for bed he told everyone to hold it down because he was trying to sleep!! At dark they held the luminaria ceremony where they read all the names of the people being honored with a luminaria. It was really neat when they had all the luminarias lit all around the track, and the word HOPE lit up on the bleachers. The Kane County Relay brought in over $11,000 for cancer research. We had a great time, but we were all pretty worn out by the next morning!! It felt good to help with such a great cause! I am very thankful to everyone on our team and everyone who donated!
