Relay for Life 2009

Last weekend we had a team that participated in the Relay for Life to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. This was our second year doing it, and we decided to do it at the Taber relay, and our team was named "Bev's Babes" in honour of my mom. It turned out to be a beautiful night. The weather was amazing and the candlelight luminaries were an emotional tribute to those fighting cancer or those whom cancer has taken away. Our team really pulled together this year and besides supporting one another on this emotional night, we also raised just over $8000 for the Cancer Society! (We have had some donations since the relay...) Thanks to everyone who donated and/or participated. We plan to do it again next year too.



On a sad note, my Granny passed away yesterday, after falling and breaking her hip and undergoing surgery for it, she had had heart problems last week and just couldn't recover fully from the stress of surgery, I guess. She was 90 years old, and lived a full, fun life. Fortunately we had a very nice visit with her on Sunday when we were in Taber after the relay, and we are so glad we all got to celebrate her 90th with her a month ago. She will be missed.
