That was the theme for this year in the Great West division of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Team Georgie came together for the third year (we have participated since 2006, just a few months after Georgie's passing). It is always so inspirational. And of course the team is fun to be around too! The first year, Craig and I were the representatives from The Davenport side. Last year, Dan & Jes were the speakers in the opening ceremony, I sang the national anthem, and Mom came too. This year I sang again, Mom came again, and Robert & Leese flew up. So now if we can keep everyone and add the Leethams or the Iowa Davenports or the SLC Davenports, or Dad, that would be even cooler. Relay is one of my favorite events all year. It's wonderful - albeit emotional - to remember and honor Georgie. This year's t-shirts said: "Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back." That's exactly what we did, and we raised a ton of money. Anyway, I wanted to post pics before I get totally enveloped in my c.d.
