Tonight I went to Relay for Life for Adair County. It was an experience that I think can be life changing if you let it.
The event opened up with a prayer to god, which actually bothered me a little, but I think a lot of people liked it.
Then there were stories from people who had loved ones with cancer or who had cancer themselves. One girl was still going to classes through her therapy, classes at Truman.
My big in APO, Angie, is a cancer survivor and she got to make a lap with the other survivors, then during the next lap were the cancer survivor with the people who helped them through the ordeal so she walked it with her mother. This event is very important to her because a lot of people in her family have had or died from it, including her father.
I envisioned the whole room as one big cushion of support for people dealing with cancer, there were so many booths and people there having fun and raising money for research. There were live performances, music, food, and a lot of other things to do. This was my first one and I am so glad I decided not to skip.
