I am so excited that my university is partaking in Relay for Life. I am doing it this year with Sigma Kappa. I am so happy to bond with my sisters for this overnight cause that is honestly so fun when you are with your friends. For those who do not know, here is what is said on my university's event page,"The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length." No matter where the event is held, a Survivor's Lap is done, The Luminara Ceremony, and a Fight Back ceremony.
With friends and family, this event is truly fun and raises awareness for this horrible disease. I would greatly advise you to participate in one if this event happens by you or even start one if you want! I cannot say how much is means to me to get to do this again.
