Relay For Life

This was my second year to be on Team Rachel in the New Braunfels Relay for Life. Rachel is my lifelong friend Amy's daughter who is 2 years old and fighting against cancer. These first few pictures are during the first lap of the night. It is the Survivor Lap, where all of those who survived cancer take a lap to honor the fight they have had to go through. It is very moving and emotional. Rachel was the youngest survivor that night. Amy and Michael are amazing caretakers and do their absolute best to make sure she is receiving the proper treatment and help she deserves. I am so grateful that God has brought Rachel this far and continues to bless their family. It hurts me to see Amy and Michael go through this. They are an inspiration to keep on swimming through life and take it one day at a time.

The theme this year was Finding Nemo. "Just Keep Swimming Rachel" The theme for the night was Toon Out Cancer.

Amy and Micheal were blessed with another beautiful little girl, Emily.

Amy and I helped Cade with the first lap. He had a blast playing with everyone.

Amber and I grew up together as well. It is fun to get with the girls and hang out.

Brenda and Holly were on the team as well. I used to babysit Holly when she was 3. Brenda survived breast cancer.

Elvis made his appearance and of course Mom loved the concert!

Rachel and Mom stopped for a bubble break. The evening was a huge success.

We Love You Rachel!
