Relay for Life on June 25th and 26th was one of the most special nights of my life so far. I was honored to attend the annual 'survivor sit-down dinner' where hundreds of cancer survivors come together for a nice meal before the event and share stories, give hope and inspire each other to keep fighting back against cancer. One of my new friends,Corey, who is 15 years old(pictured), addressed the survivors with an emotional speech of his story at the survivor dinner. Corey is an amazing person! After the dinner I had the privilege of kicking off the Relay for Life 2010 over the loud speakers...tons of people poured onto the track carrying their team signs, remembering loved ones, and fighting the battle against cancer with every step they took and every dollar raised. Relay for Life Rochester rose over $180,000 for the American Cancer Society! Thank you so much to the Relay for Life Committee members who worked long hours all year to produce a tremendous event! See you all next year.
