Team Yak Attack

On Friday night, I participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event as part of Team Yak Attack.

My brother Paul is a three year colon cancer survivor and we teamed up with two other survivors to celebrate the success of their treatment, to actively continue the fight, and to remember those who have been touched by cancer.

It was quite an evening/night/morning and the theme of kayak fishing turned out to be of interest to many of the participants.

We shared some fun and food and throughout the night reflected on the value of life and the grace of God.

Paul has posted a more detailed account of the evening on his blog.

I leave you with this video of my impressions.



It was a memorable time to share with my brother. Thanks to the many family members, friends, co-workers, and especially to the travellers from Rosenberg that made the long journey to show their love and support.

I am thankful to God for his mercy and grace.

My prayer is that we will all make the most of the time that remains.
