It was the third walk our group, the Wild Things, took part in this year. This event took place from 6pm to midnight.&nbsp; During this time we had members of our team doing laps around the track at a local high school.&nbsp; The goal for each team was to have continuous laps from at least one member of your team. Our team did a great job at this from beginning to end. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jgon9.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1465871258305.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1465871258305\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jgon9.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1465871258305.jpeg?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Personally I was able to complete 41 laps around the track to surpass my goal of 10km. I completed 16.4km that evening. Thankfully, the weather was great. Sunny, hot and a nice breeze. The event was also well planned. There were various themes, such as an 80&#8217;s hour, beach hour and even a western hour. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jgon9.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1465871597454.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1465871597454\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jgon9.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/wp-1465871597454.jpeg?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Relay for Life was a great way to raise money for Cancer research.&nbsp; Seeing the dedication and commitment of everybody was truly heartening.&nbsp; It was great to see the community coming together for this cause. As a team, the Wild Things raised 796 dollars.&nbsp; This was our most successful fund raising venture so far, but I look forward to our next event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I participated in the Canadian Cancer Society&#8217;s Relay for Life.
