Relay for Life

After a long night of walking

Mike's parents and brother

This is what happens when Madi and Dawson spent the night at Lynette's. Yes, that is "hot pink" eyeshadow and fingernail polish!! They had blast!

July 11 - 12 we were able to participate in the Relay for Life. Mike has 3 members of his family that are survivors (his mom and brother were diagnosed within 2 weeks of each other and his dad was diagnosed about a year later - all of this in the last 3 years). So we were pretty excited to be a part of a great event. My turn to walk was from 1 - 2 a.m. and Carston, Tanner and Mike were all ready to walk with me. We had done about 2 laps and I told the boys that it was time that they could go and get warm and watch a movie while we finished. Tanner asked if he could walk just 2 more laps - come to find out he wanted to walk 8 miles before he went to bed. By the time Relay for Life ended Tanner walked a total of 9 1/2 miles. Carston was close behind with 7 miles. Madi and Dawson spent the night at Lynette's - they were so EXCITED!!
