For those not familiar with Relay for Life, it is an organized community fundraising walk that takes place on a track & goes all through the night. People take turns walking the track all night long, because after all cancer doesn’t sleep. There is food, games & activities etc….it’s a great for the community to get together & build camaraderie. My favorite part is Survivors Lap – a inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. Definitely love photographing this part of relay because it’s an emotional/joyous time. Survivors & caregivers are recognized and celebrated! These people are surrounded by love, and support from friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Much respect for everyone out there. Appreciate the time you have with your loved ones & be thankful for every day you have to spend with them.
