I am home from the Relay for Life walk. It was a very unique experience. I had no idea what was going on so I went with a crazy idea Iwas walking around the Hill. But it turned out we were inside the fort. Which was really cool. Idid not releize until we were all done and packing up that we had spent the night inside fortrese. The relay it self was fun everyone took turns walking and napping. The kids had a ball. They walked, they ate, they played then they crashed. I had a little nap but they played music and games most of the night so it was a little loud.
They start the night off with th e"Survivors Lap" which was really moving, people of all ages walking together. We started walking and walking and waliking and walking we walked alot.
About half way through, they lite the way with lumanaries in memory off those who have died and honour of those who are still fighting. All the teams walk the route in silence. It was very powerful and overwhelming for me.

We finished stong and wet. Great time, we are already talking next year!!!
