Relay for Life
Filed Under Human Development, UC Merced | Leave a Comment
Earlier today, I ran at Merced College in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event.
I tried to take a nap before running at 3:00am this morning, but I was either too excited or not tired.
At around 2:45am, I drove to the college from the university and parked ASAP. I got onto the track just a minute or two before 3:00am.
I ran for the first 3 miles and then I walked for the remainder of the hour. Running around the track, I noticed illuminated paper bags with “In honor of…” or “In memory of…” and a person’s name following the phrase.
I decided to run for my friend’s mother who passed away from cancer a couple of years ago. Running around the track reminded me not just of the battle people face, like my friend’s mother, but the battle society faces in battling cancer.
The word “HOPE” was glowing bright from the home side of the stadium. Hope we will for a better future and a future without cancer.
