2007 American Cancer Society Fundraiser Relay for Life Newport Beach

Hello Everyone.

This weekend was the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society.

We had a team of rowers who took turns rowing for 24 hours. It was awesome. While we were rowing other people were walking around the football field for the duration of the fundraiser. This is our third participation at the Relay and we had a beautiful spot to row from. We had the view of the bleachers and once night fell we could see the luminaries. It was a beautiful setting.

Val ended up rowing over 100 000 meters.
Pat did a whole bunch but ended up getting sick from some rotten sandwich.
A great thank you to Karen, Kelly, Lynne A, Lynne B, Kathy G., Jim G., Carol, Nicole, Connie, Lisa, Richard, Dave, and a few others whose name eludes me at the moment, for rowing and putting in your time to raise awareness for fighting cancer.
I only got to row 12 KM; I was more the organizer than the rower this weekend.

Overall the Relay raised US$186K which is a whopping 60 000 more than last year.

We look forward to participating again.

All the best from us here in Costa Mesa, CALIFORNIA!

    XENO - Wow, I was just reading about what you accomplished at Relay! Congrats on your participation. I am a Prof at OCC who will be getting involved for the second year at the Relay on our campus in Costa Mesa. My students with disabilities and assistants have done Newport Harbor before also. Anyway, I also paddle dragonboat with the Killer Guppies up in Long Beach. I would like to get them involved...they are already comitted to walk/run but if I could get them OR our crew team on board to row ergs - well it would be fun...how did you structure the rowing stuff? Please let me know as I think that I could get them all to participate if I added this...
