Somehow, Relay For Life was already 4 weeks ago. Life has been a little bit busy lately, so I'm only just getting around to posting this recap - oops!
It was my first time participating in the event, so I didn't really know what to expect, but let me just say it was a pretty awesome experience. The weather was absolutely INCREDIBLE, thank goodness, and I had a wonderful time with all my family and friends who came.
That's not to say that everything was perfect. As far as the whole event goes, there were definitely some things that could have been handled better. And as far as having a team goes, we certainly learned a lot in our first time out, and we know how to improve for next year. But the whole event ended up being so significant because I think it was the first time that I really appreciated that people were supporting me. Not only did our local friends and family join in, but we had family drive up from Philly and a friend take a bus from NY just to be with us. They made food for the bake sale, walked at all hours of the night, and brought food for the team to eat. But most importantly, they were there with me, and I was truly touched.
My sister ended up winning the quilt raffle, which is nice, since that means it will be hanging in their house and I'll get to see it from time to time. And I'll get back to work on my own quilt eventually (some other projects have jumped in line...). But for now, I'll leave you with a few pictures from Relay:
