April 8 and 9...Relay for Life

I am the Relay for Life team captain for my school. Relay for Life is such an amazing event! It is a time to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. Onslow County had 136 teams and 3,355 participants. So far as a county we have raised $275,623.57! At our school, our goal was to raise $4,000. Our final total raised was $5,892.02!

Just chillin'!

Me and my friend Lauren!

Our QCE Relayers!


QCE's line of Luminaries In Honor or In Memory of someone who has battled cancer! Some celebrate cancer survivors, while others help us honor and remember those gone too soon. All represent someone special who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to fight back in their honor. A real emotional moment. ThIS IS WHY I RELAY!

On Saturday, I returned with Lauren for the Kid's Walk! We enjoyed walking some laps around the track and participating in an egg hunt. She enjoyed the two but not as much as the big, blow-up slide that our team had for entertainment! Thank you Cadence for the many trips you made with Lauren!


Lauren with Mrs. Julie after she WON our teams MVP award! Mrs. Julie stayed overnight at the Relay. She had to sleep in her car with her kids and a few other team members due to the rain and gusts of wind! She also donated 9 inches of her hair that morning! God Bless her!


I think Lauren was ready to go home! The weather was very damp and chilly! She was such a trooper!
