Relay for Life

Yesterday my girlfriend and I walked our hour together so we walked for 2 hours. The sun came out and the track at St. Patrick's school was packed. There were competitions for decorated hats, cars, most raffle tickets sold, most ingenious booth. People were selling everything from organic vegetables to homemade chocolate bon bons. When we signed up to walk we knew nothing about the involvement required! Boy were we surprised. We stuck to our guns and raised money and walked. Lesson learned - before saying yes to any of these activities, ask what will be involved, how will it work etc. You'd think I'd learn after all my years but....anyway, we participated and the woman running our team did an awesome job and I think the team raised over $7,000.
