Relay for Life
I stopped by the local cancer center this morning and picked up a packet of information about our local Relay for Life. It is put on by the American Cancer Society to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
Honestly, I just wanted to sign up to walk. What I was handed was a packet of information about being a team captain. Teams are made of 10-15 people (though you can have less than 10), and persons are asked to raise 100.00 as a participant.
Yikes! I really just wanted to walk and contribute my 25.00 entry fee.
Yet, I still remember standing in front of Baylor Medical and realizing how many people had been faithful to do the work put in front of them. How men and women had been responsible to use their talents to work against this disease, and how I had never done anything, but was benefitting from it.
The relay is on April 20 and 21st. I need to have a team put together by March 5th. I am not sure I can do it....it is way out of my comfort zone...but....I am standing here as a breast cancer survivor due to others along the way who were also likely at times out of their "zone." So, your prayers are coveted as I consider this, and if you are local and reading this and want to be a part, PLEASE let me know!

Can we talk Sunday? I'd like more info on what a team member would do. See you at group after all. I won't be going to Emmaus as I'd previously thought, so can join y'all Sunday evening. Yeah!
