This past Friday was USC's Relay for Life held at Blatt Field. Even though I signed up through the Student Media team, I spent most of the time hanging with the 9th floor and our new friend, Buddy. I didn't expect to stay all 12 hours but it went by so quickly, I hardly noticed...until the next morning.
This was my first time participating in Relay for Life and I had a blast. For the most part, we walked around the track (which honestly could have been positioned better so there would have been more room to walk but anyway) and took turns manning the tent. Watching the step show with Sally (I see you, Larry!), dancing around with Bernice and Colin and watching Pat fist pump like a champ were definitely some highlights of the evening and morning.
Even though I had a great time, it was really moving to hear about some of the victims and survivors of cancer. One participants mom passed away only a few weeks ago from cancer and his team was one of the top fundraisers. I was glad to see our entire University support a cause that effects so many people and their families. Can't wait till next year!
