On May 9th we participated in the first Relay For Life here in good ol' Hurricane. The event was actually organized by an 11 year old boy who was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 2 or 3. He is of course cancer free. It was amazing to me to see that such a young person could put such a huge event together. The event brought the whole community together. I believe the event raised over $27,000. We started at 6PM & stayed until about 11PM. It was a blustery night but the kids still had fun. Jackson suprisingly didn't want to quite walking around the track. My Dad & Dottie were able to come down too. It was great to be able to spend the weekend with them. We joined a team with our good friends Darin & Shelly Thomas. They are serious runners.
