SO LAST NIGHT JARED AND I HAD A BBQ AT OUR HOUSE WITH 7 PEOPLE. IT WAS A FUNDRAISER FOR OUR TEAM FOR THE RELAY FOR LIFE. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THE RELAY FOR LIFE IS A RELAY FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. THEY DON'T HAVE THE WALK UNTIL JULY 11TH BUT BEFORE WE ARE BUSY TRYING TO GET PLEDGES AND DO DIFFERENT THINGS TO EARN MONEY FOR THE CAUSE. THE NIGHT STARTS OUT WITH LUMINARIAS ALL AROUND THE TRACK, IT IS DARK OUTSIDE AND THEN THEY TURN ON THE LUMINARIAS WHICH PEOPLE PURCHASE IN MEMORY OF SOMEONE THEY KNOW THAT HAS PASSED AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE. THEY TURN THEM ON AND THERE IS A SURVIVOR LAP, WHERE SURVIVOR'S OF ALL TYPES OF CANCER WALK AROUND ONE LAP. THAT IS GOING TO BE SO EMOTIONAL. THEN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT THERE IS ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, TENTS SET UP FOR RESTING, CROSS DRESSING PERFORMANCES, YOU NAME IT. IT STARTS AT 6PM AND GETS DONE THE NEXT MORNING AT 6AM. THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WALK SOMEONE MUST BE WALKING FROM YOUR TEAM, GLAD WE ARE ALL STOKED TO DO IT AND SUPER MOTIVATED. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO PARTICIPATE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE TEAM CAPTAIN SO MY FRIEND FROM WORK DECIDED TO BE THE CAPTAIN AND I AM JUST CO CAPTAIN AND WE HAVE 8 OTHER PEOPLE ON OUR TEAM, INCLUDING MY MOM, AND SIS NIKI! WE ARE SO EXCITED! IT IS ALOT OF WORK. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, WHEN SOMEONE YOU KNOW WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE! I GUESS IF WE CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO ONE PERSON IT IS WORTH OUR TIME-RIGHT? LET'S GET TRAINING....CHEER FOR OUR TEAM!

Way to go, that kind of stuff makes a big difference and brings about a lot of awareness! Good luck!
What a great thing to do !!
I'm sure that you'll have a special night that you'll always remember. Once you get started with this charity stuff you'll find that you're life changes.
Good luck and I hope that your whole team has a great time.
