Register your team today. Youll never feel better for staying up all night! Our relay experience last year was FANTASTIC. I'm a very lucky team leader, I have some fantastic friends who support me in my Relay efforts. This year will be our third year relaying as a team. I started relaying 2 years after my dad lost his battle with cancer. I formed my own team last year, and I know that lots of people on my team have been touched by cancer, but I also know that they relay to support me. I APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH FOR GIVING UP THEIR TIME TO RELAY FOR ME AND MY DAD. Although we had a great time, laughed and talked, I think a lot of us on the team use the middle-of-the-night walks around the track to contemplate the impact that cancer has on all of our lives. I know that I do. I think about my Dad, and the struggles that he had, but try to think about how all the money we are raising really will help those currently facing the disease.
