We Laughed, We Cried, We Walked For Hours, We had No Sleep But Boy! Did We Have Some Fun

The Relay For Life was one of the best events I have ever been involved in. The whole thing was very emotional and there were plenty of tears. The opening lap was for Survivors then every one walk for the first 1/2 hour then it was fun and games until the Candle Light Ceremony. It so beautiful seeing all the candles light up the walking track. Once the candles were all burning there was a minute walking in silence while showing photos of people who have lost their fight with cancer. Then back to the fun and games for the rest of the night. Everyone walked the last 15 minutes I counted 220 people. Pretty darn good for our first relay. QLD cancer told us we wouldn't get more the 8 teams first time, we had 18.

For a gold coin donation I took anybody who didn't walk around in the golf buggy. There was also a lady who just had a bone marrow transplant that I took around every hour or so.

The Candle Light Ceremony nearly 500 tea light lit up the track.
