This past weekend, Teresa took part in the local Relay For Life. The relay is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity, and it offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
This year's relay was held at Edwardsville High School (due to the terrible weather). Throughout the evening, each team member took turns walking or running around a track (since it is required that each team have a representative on the track at all times). Relays are an overnight event, and everyone was walking from 10pm until 5am!
This year our local relay raised over $37K! So even though everyone was physically exhausted from walking all night, they could hold their heads high! A great effort for an even greater cause!
