Life as a Hula Hunnie: Relay for Life

June 12th, 2010

A nearby riverside park

500 plus people

And I am dressed like this

Opps, I mean this...

Where am I?

Where else could I be but

The Relay for Life.

For anyone who doesn't know what Relay is, it is a 12 hour event for the Canadian Cancer Society. Basically, your team has to have someone on the track at all times during the 12 hours.

Our team, the Hula Hunnies, arrived early to set up.

We were a little late, but we did get there before it started. I was very impressed.

Once there, we set up camp,

Put on our sunscreen,

Put on our costumes,

This is my dad. We are so proud of him. :)

And had our coffee.

Then it was time for relay to start.

Between the rounds, there was a little fun to be had, visiting to do,

Water to drink,

And Hula Hooping to do.

All the wildlife came out to participate.

It was a fun day, but we were all there for a reason.  To raise money to fight Cancer, to honour the survivors, and to remember the ones we have lost.

A lot of tears were shed, but it was the perfect ending to a fabulous day.
