Relay for life starts tonight

Tonight the Cancer Council's Relay for Life starts, and in the morning (early) Laird Peter and I will join our Skene Street Specialist School team in Ararat. We are slotted in to walk from 7am until 8.30. There has been some turbulent weather today - quite hot (mid-30s) and thunderstorms - and some rain.
Here's a bit of information about the Relay in Australia:
Relay For Life began in Australia in 1999, when the Victorian community of Murrumbeena raised over $75,000 for Cancer Council. Relay For Life is now run in every state and territory and raises over $14 million each year for the cancer fight.
So, this is the first time we're involved with Relay for Life. So many people we know and love have been affected by cancer. Check them out at: www.relayforlife.org.au

This is the Relay for Life slogan:
Celebrate Remember Fight Back!
