May 21: One of my good friends at work has organized a team for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Event. Annette Colombini is the team captain for the event that happens June 9/10. If you are so moved, you can join in the relay or sponsor one of the participants. Relay for Life
The event starts at noon on Saturday, June 9th and ends at 8:00 am June 10th. There are several other teams also participating. I have not attended one of these events before. People who have attended in the past have expressed that the event is very moving (pardon the pun).
I have been doing very well lately. Sitting up for long periods of time and lifting some heavy objects are still a challenge but I'm feeling improvement every day. I have to be careful to not try too much.
