I managed to make it to the "Relay For Life". For those of you that don't know what that is, It is a charity to raise funds for cancer research as well as a way for people to remember those who did not win the battle with cancer. The event was held at the Maryville College in Blount county Tennessee. There was a few hundred people participating in the walk and more running booths to raise more funds for this cause. The luminaries all had the name of someone we have lost to cancer. There was a thirty minutes of silence while all there was was they people walking the path of luminaries. I was so taken by all of this that I did not get too many photos. I'll share a few that I did take below. Please think of the ones you lost or are battling this horrible thing.
People came from all over to participate in the event. There was even a non female pageant to raise $.
Many booths around to continue raising more donations.
Luminaries with names of loved ones that have lost the battle with cancer.
The torches stayed lit thru the 24 hour event. God bless you all.
