The Survivor Lap kicks off the relay for Life.  All the people in purple shirts are cancer survivors. They had over $57,000 to START the day and were aiming to raise $130,000 organizers tell me that walkers raised over $139,000! Amazing!

And just to prove we’re two people. Here’s me introducing Rep. Kathy Angerer who spoke along with Senator Randy Richardville. I joked that since both Kathy and I were there at the same time it would put to rest the rumor that we are the same person. (I didn’t take a pic of Richardville, because usually no one mistakes he and I for one another. )

Great job Bedford and thank you Relay for Life for including me in one of the most inspiring community events in the world! And also thank you for suffering through my silly jokes. (see above)

Congratulations on a wonderful 2008 Relay for Life.
