Creating Dreams...
with the 2008 Relay For Life Tour
March 29
Cook Pavilion on the University of Nebraska Campus. Our first time at a Relay held by college students. They know how to have a party. A very enjoyable
night and it was also the first time Betty and I walked together during the caregivers lap.

Betty and I went to various American Cancer Society events in 2008 spreading
the word about Purple Power. This page is a picture diary of our road trip.

May 2
Gage County Relay held at the county fairgrounds in Beatrice, NE. A cold, rainy night. Read my poem Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back. As the night
wore on more people seemed to be in buildings than out on the track. Just a very cold and raw night. Made my first donation through the sale of Purple
Power. $257.56 was donated in the fight against cancer.

can't see to much purple - every one was pretty bundled up

not sure if people were more into the music or just trying to stay warm

June 20
Jefferson County Relay held at the city park in Fairbury, NE. A hot, muggy, very humid night. Once again, I read my poem Celebrate, Remember, and Fight
Back. $220.57 was donated by the end of the night.
