Oh what a night....

Sunday, May 25, 2008


Last night I had the honor of participating as an official photographer for the Relay for Life in Edmonton with some other members from my DLS workshops for ticdesign. It was a great time overall and although I'm quite tired today and my feet hurt a little bit it was worth every minute! The entire evening was a whirlwind of emotion from tears to laughs to cheers. It was great to hear the stories of those that have battled cancer and survived to tell about it and sad to hear the stories of those lost. I have had people in my life battle with cancer and survive and also know people that have battled cancer and after a long hard fight... have lost. It is a silent killer that can creep up on people out of no where festering for years before being discovered. We can only hope that one day all of the efforts put in to fighting this disease will prevail and there will be an unbeatable cure. I will forever cherish the opportunity I was given last night and can only hope to be asked again in years to come. It was a true honor and pleasure to be there.
