Our local chapter "Relay for Life" had it's annual walk at Hosmer Field in Rumford Maine on May 30th and 31st. It was a great success.
I volunteered my services for team and group photos and our local Wal*Mart printed the photos for the teams as a donation. We are so grateful to walmart for this generous donation.
I was very honored to so this for them. It was a wonderful experience. There is an enormous amount of emotions whirling around the field. The survivors walk was very inspirational. The prayer and song for the loved ones lost to this terrible disease was so touching. There wasn't a dry eye at the event. Once the walk started, lead by the local Fire and rescue, participants began to smile, laugh, and have a good time.
Hannaford presented a check for $7,026.77. What an incredible event. 20 Teams participated, 276 individuals raising $95,500.15 so far. If anyone would like to purchase a group shot please contact me at 562-9900. It will be $10.00 for a 8x12. Make your check out to the American Cancer Society, oxford chapter.
