This is why we Relay

This past weekend was relay for life. We raised so much money for it. We are only $8,000 away from our goal! Very exciting news. I believe that our schools goal is $35,000 this year. I must say, after all the hard work that was put into it, stressed out people every where the morning of, and all the preperation put into the event, it truelywas an amazing night!

All I have to say is, note to self, next year, do not pull all nighter before relay for life. I passed out shortly after midnight. I was sad that I got so tried I couldn’t stay up any longer because I was having so much fun. I did laps with my sisters, my friends, and classmates. Sold hand made handbags by Tri Sigma with my sisters, donated money towards Cristina’s events, bought two cheeseburgers troughout the night from Rob’s ZBT brothers, ran like a crazy person looking up cancer facts for Black Student Union for a Relay For Life event (I came so close to winning! Darn!), and who knows what else! I really just had a lot of fun, learned a ton of facts about cancer, raised money for the fight against cancer and had a ball doing it with some of the greatest people on Earth! Don’t think I didn’t see some Alumni out there as well! That was pretty cool to see past students coming back on campus to support something that they believe in.

I also have one big thank you for one of my sisters mom’s. Selby’s to be exact. Her mom spoke about her fight against cancer. It was very moving and it was wonderful to meet her. The sisters have been going crazy with excitment when we found out that Selby’s mom would be speaking. She did a great job with the video she made and a wonderful example of why Sigma Sigma Sigma picked the slogan, we are 48 reasons. Cancer touches us all.
