18 hours of a Relay…. done.

Normally, those who know me, would know that after I rested up, I would be thinking about all the things I’d want to do for the next year, starting the process of writing thank you notes, telling the world of the success of the event and feeling great about all the things I’ve done for the American Cancer Society.

Unfortunately, this event didn’t inspire me like my Troy Relays have. But, not to worry, my team still did well, I got employees to create a sponsorship for my company, my friends and family supported my work and I recruited my colleague Nancy to be on the committee and to form a team and that raised a good amount of money too. That, along with the matching funds by a team member, are equaling nearly $5000 of the money raised for an event that raised $51,000 total! Not bad for my efforts I would say. And all that money goes to the American Cancer Society in the hope that they will be properly funded to make a difference.

I gave my fight back speech at this event in front of my team members and friends and it went really well. I’m going to post that eventually on here for all of you to see. I think together we can make a difference – I just didn’t feel the love with this Relay. I am evaluating my options and taking time to unpack and organize in the new place. Maybe I will try to have some fun this summer!!!
