Relay for Life 2007

Time for some WonderGroup news!

For several years, Ashley has put together a WonderGroup team for the Relay for Life event in Norwood, Ohio. Relay for Life is a giant, 18-hour walk-a-thon that raises money for cancer research, and the events are held all over the world.

Let me get right to the coolest news: this year's event raised over $75, 000 for the American Cancer Society. That topped last year's $67k, as well as this year's goal of $70k.

The event was fantastic, fun and well-organized. There were so many people there for the first 8 hours or so (the event started at 6:30pm Friday), though naturally the numbers dwindled by noon on Saturday. At Relay, one member of each team is supposed to be walking the track at all times, and this year WonderGroup was able to complete all 18 hours!
Thanks to all WonderGroup friends and families that showed up to cover shifts, and to those who contributed to our team's goal of $1,000! It was a great team effort... and now it's time to start planning how to top it all next year!
