Relay For Life

I have been slacking on the blogs. I have been slacking because I have had this little thing called Relay For Life on my mind for the past few weeks. Last night (Saturday) I played an acoustic solo set at the event in the field house. It was the first time I had ever done something like that as last year my band played. I was also able to get my friends band come play as well. Seemed like everyone enjoyed the night of music for such a great cause. Fighting cancer is something that needs to be done in such large groups as this. Around an hour before I played I was told that my friend, who had been fighting cancer for months, was "cancer free" for the time being. They say you cannot be considered totally cancer free until 5 years later. Here's to hoping he is.

  1. I am glad you had fun at relay for life. I have never done it, but want to next year. I would of this year but things came up and was unable to participate. I am also happy that your solo went well. Must have been nervous being the first time you played without your band.

  2. Dylan,
    I was at relay for life as well. You did an awesome job performing! Thanks to people like you who donated time to make relay for life something memorable. It is an event that brings everyone together, even if it is only a few hours. But for those few hours we are all in something together. I am happy to hear about your friend. Hopefully many more who are fighting cancer hear good news as well. Thank you for performing, I hope you enjoyed your evening!
