Katie Stoll (of Katie and Brian) started a Relay for Life team in Jamie's honor to get Jamie's "team" together to celebrate her success in clobbering cancer. Sign up right here!Relay for Life is a 24-hour relay fund raiser for the American Cancer Society. You can find more info about it right here. I've participated in the Relay before, and it's a really fun and inspiring event. Team members (walkers) are needed for relay shifts, and at the event you can camp out overnight, or just show up for a walking shift and visit the campers.
The event begins on Friday, June 20 at 6:00pm and will last until Saturday, June 21 at 6:00 pm. It will be in Tacoma at the Franklin Pierce High School Track - 11002 18th Ave. E.
Tacoma, WA 98445-5200. On Friday night there will be a survivor lap at 6:00 pm for cancer survivors, and a Luminaria Ceremony of Hope at 10:00 pm. Walkers who circle the track all night walk by the light of the luminaries.
You can make a Luminaria donation to the event or to Jamie's Team in honor of anyone whose life has been touched by cancer — just click right here.
Join Jamie's Team to participate in the Relay at her Team Page — get there by clicking right here. If you're interested in joining the team to walk, but have yet to sign up, please leave a comment on this post so Katie knows how the team is shaping up. Anyone can join the fun, so mark your calendars, and get ready to lace up your walkin' shoes! We'll see you there!!
