Although this wasnt something I did for the first time, I wanted to make sure that I did one this year!!! We decided to do it in the Valley this year so that our family members could be a part of it. The walk ended up being on Dad's actual birthdate, so we got to celebrate his 66th birthday that night!! It is such an experience to walk all night (from 6:30pm-6:30am) for the people who have lost their battle to cancer, for those that are still fighting, for the survivors, and for those who could possibly be effected in their future. Cancer is such an awful disease that effects young and old and is life changing for so many people. Dad lost his battle in after just 8 months of being diagnosed and had an 80% survival rate, you never know who will be effected and what the outcome will be. I just want him to know that I am helping them Fight to find a Cure!!! Every year I walk its for him, he had such strength, he was never afraid of it, and fought the disease hard, all with a smile on his face. We also walked in honor of our other friends and family that have been effected by Cancer....the disease NEVER sleeps, and the night of the Relay, neither did we!
