The Relay

Tonight Alison and I (plus family and friends) attended the Relay for Life. Our Brother-In-Law's Mother, Susan, put Ali's Allies (a team to support Alison) together and was the driving factor in our whole participation. It showed true caring and character, extraordinary compassion and kindness on her part. She has a big heart. And if you look below, she has the red shirt on, showing her Captainship of our team. She was there all day.

While watching Alison at the event, I was struck by her grace. She wore a purple shirt, signifying her cancer survivorship, and when I watched her dawn her sash, I wondered if I would handle her situation with half as much class. She was all smiles, her spirit glowing. I was proud of her. Somehow her strength still stops me and makes me watch.

So here are a few photos. I have new news, but I'll blog about that later...

Oh, and thanks to everyone who gave. I think we raised more than 700$ for the American Cancer Society.
