Why I Relay...the beginning

So I started participating in relay for life in 2007 just 5 months after my brother, Morgan, passed away due to cancer. Ever since then, I have walked the track all night to give a little to what took a lot. Every year I have been surrounded by family and friends, strangers and neighbors. Every year has gotten better and better and i have to say this year, 2009, has for sure been my favorite! Relay for life provides an opportunity for people like me who aren't doctors or scientist or even millionaires, just ordinary people doing an extraordinary thing. Cancer is hard, is takes energy, time, effort and most of all courage.We have to have the determination and motivation to rebuild what cancer tore down. For me the motivation and determination comes from those walking next to me. One day I hope there will be more people walking the survivor lap, than luminary bags lining the track.
