There is a group of people from our ward doing Relay for Life in memory and honor o
f Peter this year and I've decided to join the team. For those of you who don't know about Relay for Life, the website says, "At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ® events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps." I've never done anything like this before. I'm excited and honored to be part of something so important and meaningful this year. The walk is on April 25. I know everyone has been affected by cancer, whether it has been you, a relative or a friend. I feel this is an especially worthy cause. Our team is called "Peter's Polar Bears."(Peter had wanted to "surf a polar bear down an avalanche":)

If anyone is interested in contributing to our team, there is donation info below. Any amount would be awesome! There isn't a minimum donation, you can type in the amount-even $5 would rock! Our team would love to reach the goal and show Peter and his family how many people support and love them. And of course help in the fight against cancer.

Thanks everyone!
