celebrate. remember. fight back.
the motto for the Edmonton Relay for Life this past May. i had the opportunity to join my friend, hope walls, and her team to document this event. the relay for life, an event hosted by the canadian cancer society, is a large cancer fundraiser spanning a “12-hour, overnight, non-competitive event that involves teams of participants who take turns walking, running or strolling around a track.”
it was a moving and eye-opening experience. the amount of love, support and strength exuding from the cancer survivors and their family members was of immense proportions. i am so thankful for being a teeny tiny part of it {thanks hope}.

here are some images from the survivors’ dinner.
then we headed out to the track for the survivors’ victory lap and the team relays. 
as always, thanks so much for reading ~

As I have said before, and will say a million times, I am grateful to those who come out with their cameras and document this HUGE event! Thank you, thank you, thank you <3
