Team "Blyth" gathered Friday, May 9, 2008 for our first time participating in Relay For Life. Our day started early Friday getting things ready for the big event at 7:00 PM. We were so proud to have two survivors on our team Judy Gantt and Dot Wood. They took the first lap and helped kick of the 2008 Relay For Life. We enjoyed a great time walking and talking with friends and especially enjoyed all of the great entertainment and teriffic foods of the evening. Some of us were able to make it through the night and to the closing ceremony. We can't wait to do it again next year. Our team was "Making A World Of Difference For A Cure" and donated a little less than $2000.00 to the American Cancer Society.

Special thanks to those who donated to our cause and to Fooshees, Floral Case, Beaudrouts and Greenwood Flower Shop for their donations to help our "message in a balloon" project. Also thank you to Jennifer Colton at the Index Journal for her great reporting of the event.
