Relay for Life

[DeeDee]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you dont mind this has nothing to do with fishing (sorry) BUT I have to tell ya what I did this weekend from Saturday afternoon till 5 AM Sunday morning! I have never done anything like this before but I had so much fun I'm telling everyone! My friend from work talked me into doing a Relay for Life all night walk, (kinda lazy so wasnt really interested at first)I had the best time and felt really good about doing this. They had entertainment all night, a DJ till about 2am, I got out of going to work, belly dancers, cutest little girls doing some kind of Irish dancing, I brought my 42 cup coffee maker. Gotta tell ya, if you EVER get a chance to do this, you wont regret it. Heck you wont even mind asking for money the next time! Anyhow I have pictures I'm going to post them in the photo sharing forum if you interested.

Good job...one of my best friends did it a couple of times. Now I wish I had joined her, but hard convincing Mrs. Tom I am going to do something, even like that with a younger lady.

[DeeDee]

Well, Mrs. Tom will just have to join you. My husband was going to go but babysitter couldnt make it. I know he will go next time. I would have brought the boys but their patience would have gone by midnight. I cant wait to do it again. I posted pictures under photography and photosharing and the thread is show us your pictures of people.

Way to go DeeDee. I have been pretty involved with a Relay team here in the cities for several years now. You are right about how much fun you can have in the middle of the night, AND about how good you feel for having done so much to help fight an awfull disease.
