Relay For Life!

On Friday it was SMSU's annual Relay for Life, a fundraiser to help stop cancer.  I didn't have a team this year, but all my roommates were going and on teams, so I decided to go  check it out for a bit.  I did relay in high school too, and we went all night.  From 6 pm to 6 am, and walked the track around the football field.  I really enjoyed it when it was outside.  Here at SMSU it is inside, which is ok but walking outside is more fun I think.  I didn't stay long, but they had a lot of people and different booths! My family thankfully has not been affected by cancer, but I know a lot of people who's families have.  This event is an awesome and fun way to raise money for those people so they can get the best treatment and care possible, and to hopefully find a cure for cancer here in the near future!! They had a lot for the walkers to do all night, from musical performances, to fin scavenger hunt games and cool prizes.  I do regret not having a team this year and staying the whole time, because it is really fun and all for a really good cause.  Next year is quickly approaching and I will just have to try it then!!
