I'm so excited, my children & I walking in a cancer relay in June. It sounds like a lot of fun while we earn money for a great cause. I'm hoping this teaches my children alot about giving of themselves.
From what I understand, the relay last 24 hours during which time they have ongoing activities to make the time fly by and entertain all involved. We get sponsorships, at all times someone from our team is walking. When it's not our turn we can go back to "base camp" which will be my camper/sun tent where we can relax, eat, play, etc. While walking, it's fun as well because they have competitions like; most patriotic walker, drag queen walker, 50s, etc. It sounds like a lot of fun!
Also at night they have luminary bags lighting up around the track. Each luminary is in memory of a loved one that died from cancer or in recognition of a survivor. I've heard it really puts a # on the amount of lives effected by cancer.

We are also making sugar cookies cut out like ribbons and frosted pink to sell at the relay to help bring in more funds. My kids might make them as well to sell at our local store.
Has anyone else ever heard or walked in one of these relays?
Anyone ever walked in a cancer relay?
