Relay for Life is wonderful and still exists close by. Let's not lose focus for WHAT it is intended; to honor survivors and to remember those who have passed and to keep hope alive.

When the Morses allowed it to be held on the Charter High School grounds it was well done, even including a lunch for survivors and spouses, really more than any other I had attended in any other place.

It was HUGE and probably close to the limit then as to not being able to hold all who wanted to attend. Our population has since grown and blessedly, cancer survivors along with it.

I don't think there is a space on site that could hold ALL of us now.
