It is this single lap of a track that, has such an impact. I remember being hugged by total strangers who just walked up to me and said ?God bless you.' My cancer is not that bad, but some of these people are so brave to be out there because they know how dramatic an effect it has on their life.

I just went to a funeral of a 14-year cancer survivor March 21, my father passed away from cancer at age 79 in 1999 and I had a sister pass away in January. Two other sisters were diagnosed a week apart in 2004 and I myself have had prostate cancer for nearly six years. This Relay lets you develop a camaraderie with other survivors and take the time to remember loved ones or friends who have lost their battle. It also celebrates life.

Very nice to be the last one on the track for one-lap qualifying.

The last resort is track. The total dream is to make it to the NFL.

We hugged, and jumped up and down.

Both teams start at zero and it's even going in. I don't think records have much impact on the series. It puts an edge on the series when there's a rivalry between the two teams. But in preparing, there's no difference. It just makes it a little more exciting.
