Relay for Life 2009

Last night was the Lee County Relay for Life walk.  My shift is always from midnight to 6am.  I left school yesterday and got into bed and slept until about 10pm then got up and went to the relay.  Our team is really into having at least one person walking the entire twelve hours and we definitely did that this year.  I missed many of the AJHS participants because they were there at the start time.  We won the t-shirt design contest for the third year in a row.  (I always design the t-shirts.)  The theme this year was "Lights, Camera, Take Action Against Cancer" so all teams were encouraged to have movie-themed shirts and campsites.  The red t-shirt says, "Frankly, cancer, we do give a damn," and it has the Gone with the Wind picture on it.  We couldn't wear it to school so that's why we made the Star Wars ones also.  We also won "best campsite" and "most money raised by a school."  In the end, I think we raised almost $5000.

We all joked that DHR would be on their way to pick up the children who were forced to stay at the track all night.
