If you haven't had the chance to participate in a Relay for Life event, you are definitely missing out. Luckily for you, there is an upcoming event that you can be a part of!
_______________________________________________
From the Relay for Life website:
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.

Being that the local event is in about a week, it would be difficult to try to put together a team AND raise enough money to meet the goal of about $100 a person. It's not impossible, though, so if you think you are up to the task I encourage you to get on it RIGHT NOW!!
If you dont want to start a team, that's fine too. You are still welcome to come and support the teams that are participating and make a donation if you can. There are a lot of different activities that you can enjoy, and while some require a small donation, others are entirely free. ALL proceeds go to the American Cancer Society, and the fight against cancer.
They are also looking for people who would like to volunteer with the local event as well as head up some fundraisers. If you think you've got what it takes, you can leave a comment here and I will pass the info along to the people that need it!
Here is the info about the upcoming local event:
June 29-30, 2012 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM at the Los Lunas High School track.
