For those of you who don’t know, Relay For Life is a huge, 24 hour fundraising/awareness event for the American Cancer Society. I’m a big part of USC’s Relay, having been President of USC Colleges Against Cancer Junior year after two years as the Team Recruitment Co-Chair.
I am writing this blog at 5:30 in the morning, killing time between games at Relay For Life itself, so I hope you enjoy it! I think one of the best ways to describe this event may just be to let twitter feed it to you and add some pictures that didn’t make it.
As you can see, we had an exciting and busy schedule planned for the whole event!

A luminaria my sister and I made in memory of my grandma. One of the many people who Cancer has touched in our lives.

And we’re still going strong! We have a few more activities planned before the 24 hours are up, then I’m gonna sleep a LONG time.
