Several months ago the Student Government at my college decided to help raise money for the American Cancer Society and do the 12 hour overnight walk, Relay for life. I have never really been a part of any kind of charity work before so I was really looking forward to this event.I have had a couple of family members that have dealt with Cancer and also have a couple of friends that are current cancer Survivors, so I was happy to help. We had a bake sale, I made gift baskets to raffle off,and we all begged donations from family and friends. Together, the 8 of us we raised over $1,600! Last night was the walk, it started out as a very nice day then turned cold and windy by 1am, but we stuck it out and really had a good time.James, and I walked for 8 hours at least...only taking short potty and snack breaks. It was a Great felling to know that we gave something back even if it was just our time and the well-being of our feet! The event was a lot of fun and very moving.I am very sore and tired today but would do it all over again!
