RELAY EVENT

Sorry it has taken me so long to post about the Relay. I really appreciate all those who made it possible. We had a great time and had a lot of support from everyone. We handed in $3415 the night of the Relay and I handed in another $290 last week and I am still getting checks:) That makes the total over $3700. I am so overwhelmed by the generosity!! You ROCK!! I wish everyone could have been there to participate but here are some pics to prove what a great time we had! It rained the morning of the relay but we never got a drop after camp was set up. It was a little chilly but Matt's mom brought an outdoor fire pit to keep us all warm. Kael got to hold the banner for the "survivor lap" and also got to sign his name on a quilt block that will be donated to the new Cancer Treatment Center

here in Logan. Matt's sister's, Courtney and Sonnie

decorated our camp. The theme was "There is no place like HOPE" so they decorated camp like the Wizard of Oz. Kael was the Courageous Lion, Matt the Scarecrow, Trey the Tin-Man, Mattie was Dorthy, Kayse was a Munchkin, and I was Glinda (the good witch). They had a rain-bow you walked under to get into camp and even had a yellow-brick road. Thanks girls, it was awesome!! The dark pic with the bags are the Luminaries our team sponsored. We had 12 in all. Opening ceremonies was a tear jerker as well as the closing ceremonies. I am happy to report that we had someone on the track ALL NIGHT LONG!! but don't worry, it wasn't me. I almost beat the kids to bed. Courtney, Dan, Sonnie, Mitch, Mom Leak, Dad Leak, Merr, Denny, and Maurine kept the baton going. Thanks guys, your real hero's!!!
