I am very fortunate to be a member of a great team for the Relay for
Life this year. . It is a very busy team , having events almost every
weekend, either solo or in collaboration with another team. The team Captain,
John, johannes1977 Resident is on top of everything that is going
on. He and his co- captains, Ava Jhamin, CiaraNiamh McDonnell, Earth
Nirvana, Emma Portilo, holdencanturbury, Jessii2009 Warrhol, and Rob Fenwitch
have been working hard on so many amazing activities to help raise money for the
American Cancer Society . Because it is called the American Cancer Society don’t
get the impression it only is for Americans. It is a world wide effort, to
find a cure for cancer and to aid those who are living with the many forms of
the disease. 
Our team has been very successful and received two awards over
the weekend at the Half Way event:The Sapphire Ribbon indicating that we have
raised over L$ 1,109,398 , including donations made from real life , which is
over $ 4000. The fun events have included parties with dj’s, raffles of donated
items by generous artists and shops in Second Life. There was a fun skating party , a
spring fest with a combination of fun stuff going on, carnival, parties,
shopping. fishing contests all in one weekend. Fashion shows have
presented. One of my favorites besides the Springfest weekend and the Mer party was the Gatsby Fundraiser . Every one dressed in the early 1900‘s outfits, Very glamorous!.... We are not at the end , far from it, only half way to the goals. Look for Relay for Life kiosks all around the grid and help support this ongoing effort and many thanks to those who already have and continue .
