On Friday, Livi, Joey, and I headed up to Bloomington to participate in the Relay for Life with Kelly and Rick. Every year Kelly and Rick work extremely hard to raise money for the Relay for Life and graciously invite us to come up and participate with them.
The event was amazing this year. It is always so heart-warming and scary to see all of the people affected by cancer and to see how many survived it! Our family has been touched by this ugly disease along with several friends. This year we walked in honor of...
Mal Pancoast
Joe
and several family friends!
This year we were able to stay and watch the survivor walk. Our good friend Joe walked in the survivor walk this year. He is celebrating his third year of being cancer free which makes him cured! I always get teary eyed watching the survivor walk. The strength and determination each of those people and their caretakers have to fight cancer is inspiring!
The rest of the day was filled with fun activities for Livi and Joey and a lot of walking. It was a great day! A big thank you to Kelly and Rick for including us in their team and letting us join them on such a fantastic and inspiring day!
