March 27, 2009 was NGU's first ever Relay for Life. It was raining uncontrolably, so we had to have the event in the cafeteria. We had many bands come and play and all the teams set up amazing tables with crafts, cookies, drinks, popcorn, t-shirts, and much more! There were magic shows, games and races, an area to walk laps, a bouncy, a balloon fighting game, and some touching stories were shared. I shared my testimony before the luminay service and sang "Hiding Place," by Selah, with my best friend, Noelle Howard. The luminary service was very speical to everyone. There were bags with names of survivors, those who have passed away from cancer, and those still battling with cancer. We all walked a lap together accompanied by the playing of bag pipes by one of our professors. It was a great moment to be together with everyone as a school family fighting against cancer! As I mentioned before, there was an area for fighting in a balloon box. The pictures above show that I fought my boyfriend, Robert and my two palmetto princesses, Sarah Kate and Ashley. I looked at the game and thought it couldn't get that rough, but I actually cut my chin and was bleeding! haha It was kind of cool to be wearing my crown with a battle wound as well! haha It was such an amazing night! There was also a Miss Relay for Life pageant, held the weekend before, that raised money for RFL. I emceed and sang at both the little girls and the Miss girls RFL pageants. NGU did an amazing job organizing everything and I want to thank everyone who joined!
