Relay For Life

Today's Arkadelphia's Relay for Life. For those of you who don't know what RFL is, click on this link to learn more about it. Basically, it's a 24 hour long event in which participants get pledges to pledge a certain amount of money for each lap walked or run around a football field track. Funds raised at Relay save lives by funding cutting-edge cancer research, early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts, and life-affirming patient services.

Being a childhood cancer survivor, I have a soft spot for events like this. I wish I could participate this year, but it probably wouldn't be wise for me to go out there and walk 5 miles...or maybe it would. ;-)

If you are reading this and you're from a different area, I'd encourage you to find out if there's a local RFL happening near you. They happen all over the place. It's a great community event, and a great way to be directly involved with raising money to help find a cure for cancer! Happy walking!!!
