On June 26 we left for Gunnison Valley High School to participate in the cancer walk. We arrived and promptly set up our snow cone/cotton candy booth and got settled for a long summer night of walking and fun. They started with a lap for cancer survivors and then a lap for caregivers, then the walking began in earnest. At least 1 person from your team had to be walking at all times. The idea is "cancer doesn't sleep, so why should we?" A bunch of us, including me, Bryce and Blake did not sleep a wink until the drive home. Good thing Lisa was driving. [wink]
The end result was a whopping $28,000 raised to donate to the American Cancer Society.
We ate pizza, we played football, we endured a wind storm, we ate crepes and entered drawings and had 12 hours of great fun. Here are a few pics:

That looks like a wonderful cause! Good job! Is there someone who you were walking for or in memory of?
Lisa's mother Marsha. She died of ovarian cancer in 1999 at the age of 53.
Awsome! I would love to be a part of that next year. It sounds like an amazing time!
