RELAY FOR LIFE

Relay for Life is a community event that lets people come together and celebrate with those who battled cancer and remember those who lost.

Friends and I raised money at the Relay For Life. We walked the track, participated in many activities, and volunteered in the FYE tent.

SARA AND ME (:

WHAT I GAINED FROM IT: It gave me confidence to talk to

different people. I made some new friends from my

newly gained confidence. It gave me opportunities to help out in

my community. I was able to lend a hand while doing

It taught me better team skills and that working together is beneficial.
