Interbay (Port Tampa) Relay for Life Needs Team Captains

What is relay?Relay For Life is a community gathering where everyone can participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people will camp out at the Port Tampa Recereation Center on May 19-20 and take turns walking or running around the baseball field. The relay is an overnight event where each team has a representative walking at all times during the event-because cancer never sleeps.

That's a paraphrase of the American Cancer Society's brochure. I know from personal experience that it's a super experience from the hundreds of luminaria that will be lit to honor those we've lost, to the survivors that we'll honor during the Survivors Lap. If you are reluctant to participate because of the fundraising commitment check out the online fundraising option. I always start with hitting up my family and friends who are breast cancer survivors. Sadly it's a fairly long list, but happily they are here to contribute rather than have luminarias lit in their honor.

If you'd like to participate, but don't have a team to join, don't hesitate to call Heather so she can put you in contact with a team looking for members.
