a good cause



Three of our most favorite people and friends, Jill, Jamie and Kimi, have joined The Relay for Life, a community event where teams camp overnight and take turns walking or running to raise money to help fight cancer and support programs that help cancer patients and the research that goes towards finding a cure.

The American Cancer Society holds this event all over the US to help bring communities together by celebrating the lives of those who have battled cancer, lost loved ones who have, or those who continue to fight against the disease. Jamie and Jill will be walking, running, donating in honor of their father, and Kimi will be honoring her mother - both whom have
passed away from their own battles with cancer.

They have been holding garage sales and other such events to raise money and reach their goal. It is a great cause - You can donate money, walk to support, walk and donate money - or participate in any of the events they will have tonight and tomorrow morning at the walk. The relay is being held down town at This is the Place Heritage Park from 6pm Friday night to 6pm Saturday night.
