After my cancer diagnosis in March 2009, one of my good friends suggested we get involved in Relay for Life, which was a big fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. That July we attended the event just to see what it was all about. The event took place at Longyear Park in Coleraine MN.

It was like nothing we had ever seen before! There was music, food, games, contests, and a survivor walk in which names  of cancer survivors in attendance were read off and they walked together around the park. It was truly a remarkable evening!
