Relay for Life

Each year the Sparkles (and Nana) participate in the Hendricks county's annual Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. 
The Sparkles (Madison, Lillian, and Cooper) walk several laps in honor of those who have or had cancer.



This year is especially special, because they are walking for their Momma is fighting her battle with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Each year Nana  purchases luminaries which will line the walkway of the Relay. Cooper was our outstanding decorator, honoring those in our family who have survived cancer (Aliza, Lee's mom, and my mom) and those who valiantly fought but lost their battle (my dad and Lee's sister Barb) 

The luminaries are distinguished by Survivor and In Memory but I would add a third category.... In Battle.

So to all the people who are currently battling cancer, to the brave survivors and to those we dearly miss  we honor and celebrate you, especially this weekend, pledging our continued support and prayers.
