Relay for Life

This weekend is East Vancouver relay for life. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a 24 hour relay for the American Cancer Society. It's a huge event to raise money to stop cancer. Last year was my first year participating and I was on a team with work and was walking on behalf of my dad. This time last year was quite sad as my dad's surgery was just weeks away and there was that whole time of not knowing the outcome. Well he had surgery, complications, and then was on the road to recovery. Today he is healthy and we couldn't be happier. I know longer work with the company I was teamed up with last year, but Eric, I, and the girls joined up with our bank this year. There was no way I was going to miss this. My parents also go to the same bank and each team is suppose to have a cancer survivor if possible. The cancer survivors are really important as the first 3 laps are for them. Lap 1 is the Survivors, Lap 2 is for the Survivors and anyone who helped care for them, and the 3rd lap well I forget but I think it was for everyone. My dad is the banks survivor this year and he participated in the Survivor lap. It was so sad as he took his lap, but how happy we are that he is healthy. The 2nd lap my mom, myself, and the girls joined Papa. This of course wouldn't be an event in Wa unless it rained. It rained up until the second the Survivor laps started. All these people fought their cancer or have active cancer, lets hope they will be able to fight off the pneumonia they may get from today's event. The rest of the day is suppose to warm up and be sunny and we are going back later today. I got a picture of us and there will definitely be more pics to follow.
