GOREAN RELAY FOR LIFE 2009 - Dance Pit Raiders...

The Dance Pit Raiders of Gor danced alongside the Relay track (where teams would relay the many sims over 24 hours).  The BIG Relay Weekend comes at the end of the Relay for Life season.. each hour of the relay is given a theme.  Themes include Survivors, Carers.. remembering.  Originally the Raiders were asked to dance and support those relaying for the "Colours of Cancer" Hour.  We danced in the theme of colours, each Raider wearing a camisk of different colours.  We cheered on those relaying.. we danced .. we got those coming to watch to dance.  At the end of the hour, we just kept going.  15 hours later, the Raiders were still going strong.  Cancer doesnt sleep.. neither did we.  Despite the Sims crashing TWICE due to the number of people in the Sims, everyone continued.. in the support of RFL 2009!

   then continue for 15 hours more!







The votices you see lining the Relay track became sponsored by those visiting or relaying the Sims.  There were thousands.. yes, thousands of votives lining the track.  Each one dedicated to a survivor, families, friends of those fighting the battle, those involved in the research or professional caring of those with Cancer, and those that had not survived but remain in the momory, hearts and thoughts .. always.  In the evening the votives are lite as the Sims are darkened.. in rememberance.. lighting up the whole relay track around all the Sims. A time to reflect.
