Relay for Life Pictures

Better late than never I suppose; here are some pictures from last week's Relay for Life Event.

Soon after setting up our tents and getting our gear unpacked it poured off-and-on for a few hours but it didn't seem to dampen anyone's fun. Relay was a good time despite the rain and it raises a bunch of money for a good cause. Thanks again to everyone who donated to our team!

Meagan even convinced me to sign up for the CP3 Cancer prevention study and have some blood drawn. CP3 hopes to enroll 1/2 a million people from ages 30-65 and follow them for 20 years (Nothing like a 20 year commitment!) looking for incidences of cancer and associated blood markers, lifestyle and dietary habits, and other factors to establish links and subsequently prevention of cancer. Previous CP studies, for instance, were responsible for linking smoking to cancer. It is supposed to take only about 45 mins every 2 years to fill out a mailed survey so we will see how it goes.
