Relay for Life

Friday night was Comal county's Relay for Life. We had a team that we creatively named "Team Rachel" . We raised over $7000 for the Cancer society and we raised that through donations from friends & family through the internet. We can't say enough thank yous to those of you who donated to our team. Your support means more than you could know. This was our first year to have a team and we were one of the top fund raising teams because of your support. The event got rained out so we were out of there by 10pm. We were bummed that we couldn't finish but not too bummed that we got to go home and sleep in our beds.
Quick tear down before the rain!
Cade had fun rolling around on the mattresses all night!








Charlin, Anna's mother-in-law, is a cancer survivor and she walked with Rach and I in the survivor's lap. It's the first lap of the event and was a very emotional one for me as everyone cheered Rachel on. it's touching to see the support that all the survivors and current patients got from the community. As you can see, Cade and Callie came with us on the lap for support.
Our youngest team member!


Rachel's buddy Craig came and walked with her.
