Boy was I wrong...

I just came back from a Relay for Life meeting - boy it's a lot more than I thought and I was wrong on the time. I had the right dates it is June 13th and 14th, BUT the times are that it starts at Noon on the 13th and ends at 6:00am on the 14th!

Each team gets a tent and has to decorate it and the best tent wins a prize. The theme for the walk is "Play for a Cure" so we have to come up with a sport/game type theme. There is a silent auction that we have to bring something for, you can bring sleeping bags/pillows, coolers of soft drinks/water, no alcohol (Sean, Jert!!) etc...

I guess I just thought I'd sign up, get a team, collect money and walk :).... Not that I mind at all, it is for a great cause because we need to stop this disease in it's tracks.

So if anyone would like to walk just let me know and I can make a schedule up - I will be there the whole time, Jeremy said he would walk the wee hours of the morning with me, so those of you who didn't want to walk because of the time I had before, well now you can walk in the afternoon and the sunshine.

I do know the survivors walk is in the opening ceremony at noon. So all of you survivors out there who want to make that first lap, please come and join us. The luminary ceremony will be at 10:00 pm. I will put all of this in a file and post a link on here this weekend with all of the information. It is a lot to type right here.....

Sorry for getting it wrong, but maybe we can get more walkers now :)

Much love to all,
