“Fear grows in the darkness of the mind. It vanishes with the light of knowledge
like the morning mist.”

Last weekend I participated in the East County Relay for Life held at Cuyamaca College. It was such a fun event for attendees while serving a noble purpose. Teams participated in competitions and everyone got into the spirit of the themed walks. I surprised myself - didn't know I had the 15 miles in me that my watch recorded.
The money raised will:
  • Help fund breakthrough research
  • Give over 20,000 cancer patients free rides to chemo
  • Help more than 25,000 people touched by cancer with a free place to stay near a hospital
  • Provide answers and support to more than 1.3 million people who call the live 24/7 helpline
One of the event's most touching traditions is the Luminaria Ceremony. During this ceremony, participants represent everyone touched by cancer with a luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope. There are many people in my family who have died from cancer and some who are fighting it now. It was an honor to light luminarias and walk for them.
