Relay for Life

Can you feel the love?  I surely can!!  The fundraising has continued and is going at a wonderful time.  It is National Brain Tumor Awareness Month and although we are always aware around here ;), it is important that many others are too.  My sister-in-law, Marie and her daughter, Jocelyn (and many of her friends), signed "Team Jen" up for the Relay for Life that stopped in Cedar City on April 19-20.

The Relay for Life is an amazing organization raising money for every kind of cancer.  The relay takes place on a school track (in this case it was SUU) and there must be at least one member of your team walking on the track during the entire event which lasts through the night.

Talk about an amazing event!!  SO much love, dedication and donation of time, money and effort were spent on this!  Once again, the support I felt by friends and family, both near and far, was incredible!

Cedar City is my home away from home, Matt's hometown, our alma mater and favorite place to be…it doesn't take a lot for us to hop in the car and drive up North, but this event made it even more sweet.

Marie's husband, Chris, is the local Ryan Seacrest ;) and even featured me on the radio which made me feel like a local celebrity.

We had a ball seeing family and friends and raised $1700 dollars that went straight to cancer research!

We'll take as much of that as we can get!  Thank you to all who helped, walked, donated talents and efforts, traveled and made a difference in my life and many others lives as well.

The Relay for Life is another traveling fundraiser and came to Phoenix a few weeks after Cedar City.  Wade and Seth's school put together a team and raised over $2900 dollars for the cause!!  Amazing!

In addition to Phoenix, Washington DC had their own Bain Tumor Research Run in which my cousin, Mattie, and her cute husband, Erich, ran in!  Just love them to pieces!!  I'm telling you...how could I not feel the love?! ;)
