August 7, a beautiful day at Wilmington's North Island Park, and the 2010 ACS Relay for Life begins at 4 pm with our own Shelby Ziller singing the National Anthem. We started with a touching prayer, a lap walked by cancer survivors (several of our team members included), a lap walked by caregivers, then a walk by all teams. The watermelon slices we sold were a refreshing treat for many relayers. Besides team members, many supporters from the congregation came out to visit, walk a few laps and enjoy the afternoon. When we wrapped things up about 6am Sunday, we were informed of unofficial totals for the Relay as a whole...including over $63,000 raised. What a great success. |
