2014~Survive and Thrive
Relay for Life
This year, friends and family from team Survive and Thrive banded together to walk for a cure. With 63 teams and over 544 participants, we helped raise $170,900!!! We had a lot of fun creating capes for this years Superhero theme and I walked in honor of my aunts Diane and Dawn, my cousin Allaina, my friend and co-worker Terry, my friends brother Brian, another friends uncle Joe, Team Jack, and Alex's Lemonade stand. I walked in honor of my childhood friend Jennifer, my Great-Uncle Rick, and Survive and Thrives team cook and my dad-Tim.
We had a lot of fun pretending to be sumo wrestlers, winning the "Best Use of Duct Tape" award, watching our cousin Shayla and 2 nieces Ava and Esme as "Hush Angels," seeing our brother-n-law Paul win the frozen t-shirt contest, and hosting our annual food stand.
While it was bittersweet this year being there without dad, I also know he's super proud of us for continuing to not just Survive, but to Thrive!
