Relay for Life does it again….

As dusk fell, reason for hope was rising....
It was this past weekend at the high school track.
A nearly-full moon rises over Relay as evening comes at Friday Harbor High's track Saturday night...
Folks gathered for this year’s Relay for Life to raise money to give to the American Cancer Society to help fight cancer and find its cure. The energy was high (Josie & I dropped in at the first, in the middle, in the dark, and herd from people the next day), and the weather was perfect for the day (no lightning storms this year!)
Here’s a little movie/slideshow of the day with video shot by Tabby Talley (thanks, Tabby!) and photos by me mixed into a video with Melissa Etheridge’s I Run for Life. See who you know…
The final figures for how much was raised are still being added up, but it’s great to see so many people come to help out. Way to go!
Relay for Life 2010 got underway with the Survivors' Lap (they're the folks in purple in the vdeo above....)
Merritt Olsen "won" the Soroptimist Club's 'Kiss the Pig' contest and made good on the deal...voters donated dollars to vote for their favorite kisser...
