Foothill Relay For Life 2010

by donna flores on June 12, 2010

Ange and I were invited to shoot the Foothill Relay For  Life.  It was both a  honor and a pleasure to shoot.  I was touched by the courage of the survivors and proud of all of the volunteers who spent their time raising money for the American Cancer Society.  It was refreshing to see people coming together to help one another.  It was a nice day, and this year it wasn’t 104!  My daughter Rebekah helped us out this year, she even got in on the act and took some pretty awesome shots!  Ange bought some Longaberger for herself ;-) … you know for the cause after all!!!! It was a long, tiring, fun and rewarding day. Thank you Ange and Rebekah we made an AWESOME team!

They had a cooling station set up for the walkers with misters, the little guys really enjoyed them :-)

There was a lot of comradery among these ladies. You could tell that they shared a common bond and shared their strength and courage with one another, along with probably the latest gossip ;-)

The was a lot of fun to be had, the guys were having fun raising awareness for breast cancer :-D

There were folks there that would give you a massage.

Even the little guys got into the walk.  This little guy has quite a few beads on his string. Each bead represents a lap.

There were special beads for the survivors.

Luminaries are put around the tract and lit in the evening in honor of those who have had or are are fighting the fight against cancer.  The local Girl Scout troop decorated and put out the bags to earn a badge and help the Relay For Life.

I was really impressed with these guys, they had it together!  Their sound was very good!

Part of the Luminary service is to walk the track with a candle in silence in honor of all that have gone before them.

THE END!

I completely agree – it was a completely honor and pleasure to shoot the RFL and to shoot it as a team with you and Rebekah. Thanks for working together so well. I, too, am thankful it was not one of the usual 100 degrees in the shade days! :-D
