Dan's Luminaries |
We went to our first Relay for Life event last night. This is a 24 hour event, where people walk around a track to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. The main focal point of the event is the luminaries display. For a donation, participants can dedicate a luminarie in honor, in support, or in memory of a loved one who has or is battling cancer. The luminaries stretched almost entirely around the track- that's a quarter mile! For about a half hour, the field lights are turned off, and the luminaries truly shine.
Of course, we could not resist reorganizing the bags so that ours were all together. |
Dan said hello to my parents last night:
More shenanigans last night at Upper Dublin Relay for Life. Steve and I stopped for a few moments in front of Dan's luminaries to soak in the moment. Tears came to my eyes and when I looked up to the sky I saw the thinnest Cheshire cat moon smiling down on us. I elbowed Steve to look up. He did and we both smiled at each other and continued to walk around the track. LIVESTRONG.
Regards,
Judy
Our family bags were part of a display that stretched around the track. |
