On Saturday, August 3rd, my Royal sisters and I attended Relay For Life in South St. Paul. We judged puzzle piece design and best spirit contests with Inver Grove Heights Mayor Brenda Dietrich. It was so inspiring to cheer for the many cancer survivors as they made their way around the track. It was a fun but also sad event as I wish there were less bags representing loved ones who have died from cancer. I met a woman who told me about her wonderful mother who had passed from cancer. My mom had purchased the item she had donated in her mother’s memory from the silent auction. We talked for a while and got a picture together. At the later ceremony, County Commissioner Joe Atkins gave us a shout out and had us come up and introduce ourselves. I had never been to a Relay event and I learned a lot and felt proud to help raise money for this important cause.
