As you can tell by my all caps, exclamation marked title, I am a very happy, excited girl!
Last Friday, I organized a meeting for those interested in Relay for Life. An amazing 25 people showed up, almost a quarter of our small school‘s population. Yesterday, I announced that our school’s team has been made a Relay for Life website. A goal had been set for $500 to be raised by May 15. However, an overwhelming wave of happiness blanketed me this morning when I checked on our team’s site.
In just a span of two days, we raised $520 and trumped our goal with only a few people who had donated! $520 in TWO DAYS. Crazy. Tomorrow, I will announce our new goal of $1,000.
Words can’t describe how proud I am of my friends. Giving to the community is one of the greatest, most rewarding feelings and to know that my small community on the hill is giving back to another is fantastic. I can’t wait till May 14th comes to see my friends walk around the track in the name of fighting cancer. Until that day comes, I will try my best to keep our school inspired.

great post about an important event…so glad you are staying on top on this!
I plan to bring the entire lacrosse team to participate in the relay event. I apologize for missing the first meeting. Let me know what needs to be accomplished before the event and we will make it happen. Thank you for spearheading this important cause.
Great job! Please send me the link to the website you created so we can help promote the campaign.
