June 24-25 2006 was indeed the hottest Foothills Relay For Life! Congratulations! Our 6th Annual Foothills Relay For Life is officially
complete. We celebrated life over and over, one lap at a time. We shared
tears and joy, pain and admiration, suffering and illumination. We got
warmed up with Taix Workout Studio in the morning and didn’t cool off until
the Luminaria Ceremony. Let’s just forget about the 100+ degree heat.
How many times did I hear, “Let’s have next year’s Relay in January”.
The spirit of the participants and the Union Ice chilling our Crescenta Valley
Water District water kept us cool. Our opening ceremony was a reminder of
why we Relay. We are supporting the survivors who walked that first lap
with their loved ones. That is the Power of Purple. The
entertainment moved us all day and the deejays did a great job as they spent all
24 hours at the event as well. The lunch was great thanks to Montrose
Travel. The afternoon was filled with music, belly dancing, walking, frisbees,
waterslides and more fun. Thankfully the afternoon brought cooler
temperatures and many more participants. The track filled up and the steps
sped up. The luminarias were placed and dinner was served. Thank you
to Pat & Oscars. The Luminaria Ceremony was Queen Laura’s chance to
shine. The glow of her speech and her candle illuminated the candles of
her Kingdom of Cure’s pretty, pretty princesses and then all the
participants’ candles. A quiet walk looking at each and every Luminaria
on the track told untold stories of heartache and determination. A movie
kept the late night crowd entertained and then quiet and a starry sky filled our
senses. Sunday morning was all about getting up early and having a pancake breakfast.
I admire the people that walk all through the night. Relay is about
resolve, it is about perseverance, it is about commitment and it is about
helping to find a cure. Tim Anast from the RE/MAX Tri-City team showed his
courage and dedication by walking all 24 hours. He started walking as we
were getting set up at 7AM on Saturday and stopped 24 hours later after 344 laps
around the field. The event wrapped up with awards, thank yous and
congratulations to everyone. The field was empty in less than 2 hours and
the grassy field at Clark
Magnet High School returned to normal. Thanks to everyone for such a
smooth and quick departure. It is still hard to believe that this event
happened in less than 90 days from start to finish. Thank you to the
Glendale Unified School
District for their support of this event. I want to thank the dedicated volunteers on our Committee for their hard work
and energy given to this great event. I want to recognize the Team
Captains for making the teams happen. We had 20 teams sign up and raised
over $50,000 for cancer research, education, patient services and advocacy.
I also want to recognize the sponsors of this event that you find on your
program, on the t-shirt and in this e-mail. These sponsors allow 95% of
the money raised to go straight to the American Cancer Society. These
generous donors discount, underwrite or donate the products and services needed
to make our event run smoothly. Please support and thank them. Photos From 2006 Event. Courtesy of Wade Battley - Thank you!
