RELAY FOR LIFE

Saturday evening the family walked in Federal Way at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. A team from the wife's workplace was walking in honor of one of their coworkers who is currently battling cancer. Troy's Work Table walked in honor of his cousin who is a cancer survivor. The child walked in memory of the child's great-grandfather.

In addition to walking a few miles to help raise money and awareness, we also lit luminaries to honor cancer survivors, to honor those struggling with cancer, and to remember those who have been killed by cancer.
