relay_for_life



Relay for Life in an annual event that is put on by the American Cancer Society to raise money to find a cure for cancer and remember those who we have lost and celebrate for those who have survived. There are over 4,800 relays nationwide. The overnight event is full of fun activities while members of each team are making laps around the track. Our event was held at the MSU Field House. There were games of dodge ball, volleyball, basket ball, rockstar pong, karaoke, and lots of good food. The event locally raised over $44,000. Next week is UM's Relay for Life, and we always have a little friendly competition, we have 3 years in a row in the past. It was fun staying up all night, lots of people brought couches and lounge chairs to rest in when they were not making laps or taking part in the activities. It was really fun to walk around and chat with friends or make new ones and share stories about random things. This is something I'm definitely going to participate in again next year.
