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.
