Relay for Life

Okay, I know I haven't wrote anything in a while. Between wedding and Relay for life I have been swamped. So, the Relay is coming up next month and I have to say that I am really excited about this one. Kelli and I are on the committee and we handle the entertainment! We have some really great stuff this year. Josh Pepper is coming out and singing, and we have a girl coming from Wilmington who has a phenomenal voice! We also have karaoke going on for you guys who aren't shy about making a fool of yourself(that would be me).Our office is going to do Dunk a Dentist and we will have a dunking booth out there and letting everyone dunk our dentists and maybe some of the assistants!! I know that the Relay for life or the American Cancer Society isn't every one's platform, but this is my favorite event because instead of just targeting Breast Cancer or Ovarian Cancer like Susan G. Koman or the other walks, it targets ALL cancers and puts an emphasis on surviving cancer! Unfortunately I bet there isn't a single one of us whose lives have not been touched by cancer in some way! We all know somebody who has either had cancer or died from cancer. One day I hope to live to see a cure for this disease! In fact, it is so important to me that Bart and I are going to forgo some favors at our wedding and do a donation to the Relay for life in honour of everyone who attends! So, on the weekend of April 24Th and 25Th if your not doing anything, come by Lake Benson Park and check out the Relay! It really is a great time and it is so moving to see how a community can come together for one night, forget all the bad in the world, and just celebrate by having HOPE! Okay, I'll end my commercial now! Have a great weekend!

  1. Cool I like this post too. I talked to the Lady about having the SLHS. She said she would donate 15% of all sales to relay for life,I told her I would get back to her today.
