Relay for LIFE-2011 Chickasaw County


This past Friday, the N-P Cheerleaders participated in the Relay for Life held in New Hampton IA.  What a great event that was organized and for such a great cause.  My aunt, Angela, was the Honorary Survivor.  She was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and since then has underwent a stem cell transplant and her cancer is now in remission.  It was very speical to see her up there with all of her family surrounded by her. 

The N-P Cheerleaders teamed up with The New Hampton Cheer squad to do Relay for Life, our teams name was Cheer for a Cure.  The girls perfomed a quick cheer and stunt.  They did great!


And here they are leading the suvivor lap...

Meeting new friends with cats that don't wear shoes!

The Luminaries were beautiful at night!  The whole evening was a reminder to always think how quickly your life can change if you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer.  It is a blessing to have a community that can come together to raise money for a great cause!
