Relay For Life 2011

Last saturday and sunday (April 16th-17th)
Jared and I participated in Relay for Life.
The event took place at my old High School, Red Mountain.

It was one of the most rewarding things we have done in awhile!!!

My dear friend (from my families ward) Mckenna Hansen 

was diagnosed with cancer in the fall of 2008 at the age of 20.

She underwent six months of chemo and a month of radiation, but is now healthy.

She is a survivor!!!

We felt honored to be involved in such a great cause, to raise money for

others out there like McKenna and to help find a cure for cancer!

Here are some pictures from the event!

Hanging out in the tent

Walking the track on and off

from 12pm-4am!!!

Getting ready for the Luminary ceremony

(Coolest Part)

They turned off all the lights in the stadium

and everyone walked about the track in silence with their candles

Remembering those who have past

because of cancer

The Luminaries went from HOPE to COPE to CURE

We are excited for next year, Relay for Life 2012! :)
