Relay ‘07 Recap

The Shiawassee County Relay For Life 2007 has come to a close! Things overall went fairly smooth and good. So far, the running total for the Relay is $134,000 and money is still coming in until August 31. Last year over $12,000 came in after Relay was over, I’m hoping for similar or better results! As a team we were just under our goal of $5,000 – which is totally okay because we worked out butts off this year! We also have money coming in from a fund raiser put on by a local elementary school, I’m excited to see the ending numbers though!

I updated my twitter pretty much every hour or at least attempted to. I hope people got a better idea of what we were doing at Relay from this and hopefully inspires others to do this as well for their upcoming relays.

I took around 1.5gigs of pictures and video during the 24 hours! That was pretty shocking to me! I can’t wait to sit down and begin to create something sweet!. I’ll post whatever I create in the coming weeks in the VIDEO SECTION on the forum, as well as Karen’s Kids personal blog (www.karenskids.wordpress.com).

Back to Relay… There were many new first year teams participating, which is great to see. We also grew to have the most teams every this year! Our team was also featured in the Argus-Press Newspaper (not sure how long the link will be active…)

A lot of silliness happened at our campsite as you can see if you check out our pictures on flickr. Our campsite was known for the flamingos all around and the lively energy from passionate team members.

So, I’m (again) leaving out so many things that happened, but you can fill in the gaps by visiting my twitter page and flickr page!

Thanks to KinnicChick and TrishSnyder for all the comments on twitter and the forums during our relay, my team really enjoyed to hear that others hundreds of miles away were thinking about us and interested in what we were doing! Also thanks to all our sponsors: Mancino’s Pizza & Grinders, QD Scrubs, Central Elementary School, Phi Sigma Sigma Theta-Iota Chapter, University of Michigan-Flint Radiation Therapy Student Organization, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Michigan Delta-Omega Chapter, and HostXM Web Hosting.
