We're only days away from the Relay....it has really snuck up on me with the planning for everything else going on. We are planning to have the "Rockin' for a Cure" campsite theme so the guitar hero setup will be at the campsite, should be pretty sweet! If you would like to buy a luminaria bag, they are $7 this year and I have several so let me know how many you need and I'll get them to you. The Relay starts at 6 with the opening ceremony and laps for survivors/caregivers, then the fun laps are 7:15 - 11:30 with the relay wrapping up at midnight. The fun laps this year are: Balloon walk, cookie lap, hat lap, send cancer packing lap (wear backpacks), Relay Idol (sounds fun!), Hot Potato lap and Power of Purple Lap.


The fun run is this weekend (Saturday) and we are really looking forward to that. We're starting in Le Mars then to Alton, then to Germantown, then to Paullina, then to Marcus and the finish line is in Remsen at Charlie's. The forecast for Saturday sounds great so thank the Lord for that!




We have raised over $2,500 thusfar from the rummage sale and softball tournament so we are doing great with fundraising. Let me know if you have any questions, hope to see everyone Saturday at the Fun Run!!! and next Friday at the track!!!




P.S. Below are pictures from the tournament...there are more pictures on my Facebook page if you are my friend or add me to see them!


This is the trophy Jake made in shop, he did an awesome job!!! (sorry, I can't figure out how to rotate the picture!)

The picture below is of the winning team, Team Colling, they recently lost a family member to cancer so it was touching to see them win and they were so proud!
