#1 Collegiate Relay For Life Event
It's official Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is once again going to be the #1 Collegiate Relay For Life event in the world!! We have raised over $619,000 as of 9am this morning and I know there is still tons of money to be turned in. We are inching ever closer to $750,000 raised in the fight against cancer.
Friday night was an absolutely amazing night (despite the occasional down pours and constant misting of rain). Thousands of Hokies turned out to celebrate, remember and fight back on the Drillfield. I helped out with the survivors banquet and checking all of the survivors in and seeing the smiles on their faces despite the weather was fantastic. My family also came into to town to participate in Relay with me, which made my final VTRelay that much more special. The Remember ceremony was absolutely beautiful, hearing Alice's story of her mom's battle against cancer was awe-inspiring. And as always as I made my silent lap around the Drillfield's track I was brought to tears as I saw the pictures of my grandparents on the projector screen. I miss them both so much but I walk in their memories.
As the night progressed we all continued to walk through the mud and rain to show the world that we are determined to find a cure to cancer in our lifetime. Exec put on a fantastic event and I couldn't be happier to have helped and then participated in the event. I am going to miss being on VTRelay Exec.
I'll post pictures on my Picasa album within the coming week, as they are downloaded off mine and my sister's cameras, to share with the world.

TODAY!!!
Today is the day that I join thousands of Virginia Tech students, faculty, staff and community members on the drillfield for the 2011 Relay For Life at Virginia Tech. I cannot was to see everyone celebrating the survivors and those currently fighting, remembering those we have lost, and fighting back to find a cure.
Help me make this day even more special by putting me well over my fundraising goal of $1000. I know I can raise $1200, $1300 or even $1500. Go to http://main.acsevents.org/goto/JulieTerrell2011 and donate. Every dollar helps improve the life of someone with cancer and puts us one step closer to finding a cure.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."- chinese proverb
That is a saying I live by and I hope you all will join me in this journey as I walk and fundraise towards for those who have heard the words "you have cancer" and so no one has to hear them again.
I Relay for my Grandpa Rex Terrell and Grandma Mary Krum who both lost their lives to cancer. I Relay for them today.

HALF A MILLION!!
Late last night the Virginia Tech Relay For Life passed $500,000 for the 3rd year in a row! This I believe however is the first time we passed half a million before the event instead during or after. This time last year we only had about $373,000 so we are WAY a head of where we were last year!
If we continue on this pace we should hit $750,000 no problem.

Goal Reached!!!
I reached my fundraising goal today!! Thank you to all of my friends and family who donated to help me raise over $1000, I couldn't be happier! This is the first time in 4 years that not only have I reached my goal but I've passed it and my first time becoming a Grand Club Member. I wonder if I can surpass $1000 by a couple hundred dollars???
Only 5 days until the World's Largest Collegiate Relay For Life takes place at Virginia Tech.

1 WEEK!!
I can't believe the 2011 Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is in 1 week from...TODAY!!
It is going to be an incredible night and I cannot wait. The speakers lined up for the Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back are absolutely fantastic. There are also going to be lots of fun games: wing eating contests, corn hole, Queen of the Night, Relay Olympics.
I am also only $78 away from my goal of $1000!! There might be an incentive for someone to put me over $1000...keep a eye on my blog for more information :)

$360,000+
So I'm trying to keep up with the growth VTRelay is experiencing but I just can't seem to catch up! We're raising money in large amounts every single day and it's FANTASTIC!!
Yesterday we not only passed $350,000 raised but we passed it by over $10,000!!!
Last night's Team Captain's meeting was awesome and we had a ton of TC's show up! I can't wait to see how large our event is which is only....17 days away!! AHHHH!!!
We've got a new fundraiser going on right now: "Battle of the President" where we've pitted the Student Body President and the Senior Class President against each other to see who can out fundraise the other. The winner gets to pie the loser on stage the night of Relay. It's going to be awesome to see how much these two guys can raise!
I'm still over $200 away from my goal but I know I can reach it, I want to be a grand club member to so bad! I've never reached $1000 in a single year and I want to reach it my senior year. If you want to help me reach my goal donate at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/JulieTerrell2011
