Relay for Life
Last night I had the opportunity to participate in the American
Cancer Societies “Relay for Life“. For those
who have never seen one of these events, it consists of a tribute to cancer survivors
and also remembers those who have lost their lives to cancer. I spent the night (10
hours worth) walking around a high school track. During the early hours of the morning
I had the opportunity to ponder things. As I was walking I saw many similar family
names. This got me to thinking about genealogy and how important it is to trace your
genealogy and now your families medical history so you can work on prevention rather
than treatment.
If you even have the chance to participate in one of these events I highly recommend
it. It is a very solemn experience and was well worth the time that I gave to it.
