Colleges Against Cancer

Candra promoting "there is no finish line until we find a cure"

On April 19 a group of my friends and I went to Johns Hopkins' campus to participate in Relay for Life. Relay is this cool event where all these groups who have been fundraising all year join together in the culminating event which is Relay for Life. At the event, we honor survivors, those battling cancer, and those who have lost their lives to cancer through doing a relay walk around a set lap (someone in your team has to be walking at all times all 12 hours so you relay the lap and it symbolizes that the fight continues until we find a cure!), on site fundraisers like Miss Relay, performances from the dance teams etc. Okay my description does not do it justice but in case you want to know more, the American Cancer Society sure does a better job at it. Below is a Miss Relay candidate and our team (loving the green captain's shirt!!!)
