It was the first time I had been at a Relay and didn't really know what to expect. It ended up being a very inspiring and awesome adventure for my whole family and the people I work with that came to join my team I was a little embarrassed to do the survivor walk, but as you are walking with other people who have survived hearing that word "cancer"and the teatments they have endured, it gives you an emotional high that continues for the whole Relay! The luminaries stay lite through the early morning hours and you realize how many lives are touched by this disease. All should try to attend and support!! Rosie, your sharing your experiences helps share the message that cancer touches more lives than just the patients. The families and caregivers should walk the survivors walk, too. As we certainly can't make the journey without you! My prayers are with you! - Kris
