On Friday I participated in my 4th Relay for Life at Drake University. I feel like the event has gotten better each year. It's moved from the Field House to the Knapp Center and had a lot more activities to do and I feel like a lot more people participate.
I was a part of one of the volleyball teams where we won our first game and lost our second. I played with Erin, Nikki, Tom, Marc, and Autumn. Then I played some knock-out, where I lost.
After that we watched the dance team perform and then it was time for the ceremony. This was my first time being their for the ceremony and it was very good. I found it very touching to hear from people who had been affected by cancer.
I also came to realize how lucky I am that I've never had anyone really close to me have cancer. The only people that I know of that have are more distant relatives. I have also had a friend who had a little scare, but luckily it was benign. Otherwise I've been very blessed with healthy family and friends and I hope that it will continue.
I didn't take any pictures of myself at the event (only one of Marc and Erin) so I don't have any pics to post. Sorry.
