Had to take a pass on TRY training on Saturday due to previous commitment to the Richland County Walk and Roll event - a 12 hour activity raising money on behalf of the American Cancer Society.
Wound up with 1,130 luminaria by 6:00 p.m. Saturday night - 9 colors of bags used and while they made a lovely display, they were also a bit sobering to realize that each bag represents someone's loved one and a family impacted by cancer.
Since we were knee deep in individuals wishing to purchase luminaria from 9 - 6, I had to take a pass on the 'roll' activities - but 2 of the angels participated in the afternoon activities along with several other local ladies who are preparing for the TRY. Two endurance rides were offered: 15 miles and 40 miles with about 35-37 participants. Two 'tykes on bikes' activities for the younger children and a 6 mile family ride were also featured. Very hot for the afternoon rides especially after several days of heavy rain.
By the end of the event, $94,xxx had been raised with one corporate team still to report - hopeful we'll pass $100,000 again this year.
Monday we'll all be back to TRY training with swimming again on the agenda!
