Dare to Self Improve

So what is this charity that I’m involved with? Well, as I’ve mentioned, it’s called the Relay for Life and it’s an annual event (by location) sponsorted by the American Cancer Society. It turns out, Relay is actually the single biggest fundraising event IN THE WORLD! Basically, it’s an event put on by different cities/areas etc. (there’s 5,000 in the U.S. alone) to raise money to fight cancer, increase cancer awareness, and fund research.

The event itself is super fun! It’s comprised of a bunch of teams who, at any given time, have at least one person walking around a track. In the meantime, there’s food, fun, games, and activities related to cancer. The whole even lasts for 24 hours, which means if you’ve stayed the whole time, you’re pretty darn tired.

There’s so much more I could tell you, so I’m going to link a post I recently wrote on my personal blog that really dives in explaining why I’m involved as well as has links to my crazy Relay for Life adventures the last two years.

Enjoy! Check it out here!
