Hello friends! Here is my desperate plea for
you...I only have three registered walkers for Relay for Life. I would
like to have at least 10. Please contact me to join my team. The walk is
this Friday, from 6:30pm to 6:30am on Saturday morning. It is located
at Summercreek High School (Beltway 8 and W. Lake Houston). Please,
please, please join my team, Cupcakes for Cures, and help a great cause.
Did I mention that it is only $10 to join AND you get a Relay for Life
t-shirt? Duh...winning!!! 4951

Really simple. You just stay awake all night and walk. LOL. Seriously, though, at least one member from every team has to be on the track at all times. So, we take turns walking as long as you like. There are a ton of teams there. They play music, sell food and other items, play games, have a "survivor lap" for those who have had cancer, ceremony for those who have lost their battle to cancer, and so much more. My booth is going to sell cupcakes Emoticon I provide everything needed and you just show up and walk! Feel free to go to www.relayforlife.org and look around. If you decide to help and join my team, please follow the instructions below:If you want to join my team, Cupcakes for Cures, go to www.relayforlife.org
and in the "Sign Up or Donate" box, type
Humble. It will take you to a page that shows you "2012 Relay For Life
of Humble/Kingwood TX - Humble, TX" . To the slight right of that, you
will see two options..."sign up" or "donate". Click the "sign up" button
to join my team or the "donate" button to donate to my team. If you
love me...click the "sign up" button. The next page will have many
options, but I would like you to click the "join a team" button. The
next page has a place to search for a team name. Enter "Cupcakes for a
Cure". (Don't worry about the "Team Company/Organization" part...leave
it as-is). After you search for my team, a little box will pop-up and
list "Cupcakes for Cures/ Denise Perry/ Join". The next page will ask
how you want to pay for your $10 fee. The first bubble is to pay now by
check or credit card and the second bubble is to pay on the day of the
walk, by cash or check. You choose what works best for you! Then on the
next few pages, you fill out your info, shirt size, etc. That is it!!!
You will be on my team. It also gives you the option to send out emails
so that people can donate to your page Emoticon 4951

So should one plan to be there the entire 12 hours?   I am just trying to plan and see if this will work.  Actually Friday I am the driver for a good friend to MD Anderson but I am not sure we will be back by 6:30pm.  The last two Friday's we were not. 4951

The longer you could stay, the better. I have two mom's, with young babies, coming at 6:30pm and staying as long as the kiddos allow them to. So, if you arrive later, that would be just fine. Myself and one other person are staying all night, so I am trying to find others to stay all night. If you can only come at a certain time, maybe I could figure out how to work that into some type of rotation... 4951

Just curious as to why they would do it at night, and in the middle of the night...when days would be so much better for everyone? 4951

@TheTruthHurts: There is strong symbolism in this. Cancer does not sleep, so neither do
we. Relay For Life starts at dusk and ends at the next day's morning.
The light and darkness of the day and night parallel the physical
effects, emotions, and mental state of a cancer patient while undergoing
treatment.Relay starts when the sun is going down. This
symbolizes the time that a person has been diagnosed with cancer. The
day is getting darker and this represents the cancer patient's state of
mind as they feel that their life may be coming to an end. Just as
darkness brings an uncertainty of what the night will hold, being
diagnosed brings a feeling of uncertainty.As the evening
progresses it usually gets cooler, darker and quieter, just as the
emotions of the cancer patient do. Around 1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
represents the time when the cancer patient starts treatment. They
become exhausted, sick, not wanting to go on, possibly wanting to give
up. As participants walk or run, they also are tired, perhaps feeling a
bit weaker and not wanting to go on. But just as cancer does not
sleep, neither do we.The sun rising represents the end of
treatment for the cancer patient. They see the light at the end of
their tunnel and know that life will go on. They are still tired, but
the morning light brings an excitement about looking ahead to the
future. Participants are tired, but know that the end of Relay is
nearing and that they still have many great days ahead of them.REMEMBER: There is NO finish line until we find a cure.

@TheTruthHurts: After reading that, I knew that I had to start a team, beg people to donate, and walk. It's inspiring Emoticon

@cat person: I have had the hardest time finding walkers, so next year I may just find a team and not start one. If I do, I will keep you posted. Thanks!!!

I'm not sure. I would suggest going to the website to check it out. However, I know that they are suggesting a team donation of $1000. (Just a head's up). Their website is www.relayforlife.org
 
Good luck and feel free to drop by and visit my booth, Cupcakes for Cures, if you decide to make it out there Emoticon 4951
