Walking in the survivor lap at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life has become an annual tradition for me. And every time I get a little teary-eyed as I walk it. It's simply amazing to see how many people have fought, are fighting against, and will have to fight cancer.

Check out a few photos from the weekend's Fort Collins Relay For Life below.

According to the Relay website, the Fort Collins Relay has raised over $62,732 so far! (Loveland has raised $118,180 and Weld County has raised $281,403.)  What do those funds go to?

Thanks in part to generous contributions to Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society helps people to get well, stay well, find cures and fight back against cancer. Funds raised through Relay For Life help to create a world with more cancer survivors.

So, as a cancer survivor, thanks to everyone who came out and participated or donated any money to relay. It means the world to me, literally. Without groups like the American Cancer Society, I might not have still been here today.
