08-08-09


I spent from 1pm to 10pm at Relay for Life today, plus a bit of time in the morning before it officially started. It was a great mix of family time, alone time, quiet time, and entertainment time.

This was the first year we saw the Mr. Relay contest (where guys dress up as girls to earn extra money for cancer) start to finish; it was pretty hilarious.

This was the 25 anniversary of the Cowlitz county Relay. It also happens to be about 25 years since my dad died of cancer. Our Weyerhaeuser team raised $13,000 for the cause this year!

“Relay For Life is a celebration as well as a unique, challenging and fun way to raise money for the American Cancer Society and to raise cancer awareness in the community.” Paula Fambrough
