Relay For Life

Relay For Life of Tacoma has come to another successful end. The Team from Merrill Lynch spent 24 hours walking the track to raise money for cancer research, patient programs and education.

This year the team raised over $23,000. Little Miss Kaitlyn raised $1645 at last count all by herself for this great cause.

Friday night at the event there were over 100 Merrill Lynch employees, family and friends there for opening ceremonies. It was an incredible site to see this sea of yellow on the track as we proudly wore our Running With The Bulls team tee-shirts, which have the names of our family and friends that are cancer survivors and the names of those we've lost to this dreaded disease listed on the back.

I was able to catch up with some old friends at Relay, Chris and Dani. We haven't seen each other much since Christmas and it was nice to be able to hang for a few minutes and catch up. We are hoping to get together for breakfast again here soon, which will be a welcome reason to get up early (which is NOT my favorite thing!).

Thank you to everyone that supported this year's event. You can and did make a difference in the lives of so many with your generous support!
