Relay for Life ' s first lap celebrates survivors On a breezy, mid- April night between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., over 2,000 participants walked around a track on Hillside Field lit by hundreds of candles. They were walking for Relay for Life, a global fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. For many, the fundraiser was their first relay and an exciting chance to enjoy music by Exit 245 and camp in tents. But for others, the walk was more personal - especially during the first lap, Survivor Lap. Sophomore Carly Elizabeth Starke found this lap particularly meaningful. My mom is a recent breast cancer survivor, and this was her first Relay for Life, said Starke. Walking the Survivor Lap, we were able to walk together and celebrate her victory over cancer. It was a very emotional and moving experience. The Survivor Lap was meant to recognize those who won the battle against cancer. The sense of determination and victory was clear. At that moment, walking the Survivor Lap, everything hit home, said Starke. We were caught up in the emotional journey we had taken with her to fight her battle and also overwhelmed with the excitement and celebration from everyone participating in Relay. Starke hoped the significance of Relay for Life would come across to students. Relay for Life helps to save lives, remember those we ' ve lost and fight back to give more birthdays, she said. That ' s what the Relay executive team hoped to promote. We want to spread awareness, because there ' s still a lot of people who don ' t know what Relay is, said sophomore Jessica Rose, executive team member. A big part of Relay is that ' cancer never sleeps. ' Cancer patients don ' t get to rest from the tight, so we ' re not going to rest for the night, either.

The executive team, Dukes Royales, raised more than $40,000 for the relay - about $30,000 more than the second place team. Executive members junior Meghan O ' Reilly and senior Christopher Stern begin Relay for Life by walking the banner. Thousands of students attended the relay to support the fight against cancer. I HAVE A LOT OF CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WERE AFFECTED BY CANCER, AND IT ' S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO MAKE AN IMPACT.
