Default Relay For Life

Hello everyone. This is my first post. My clown name is MrDukintux. My computer skills are lacking, so posting pictures or even getting my name right is a major issue for me.
I have participated in "Relay For Life" in the borough of Manhatten in NYC. It is a very emotional and moving experience. There is Police, Fire Dept, Corporate sponsorship and newpaper coverage. The NYPD was so happy to have us volunteer our services , that they picked us up and drove us back.
(We did get some strange looks from people in other cars)
At the event people walked around the track. People who had lost people to cancer wore pictures of them. Cancer Survivors wore a special banner., while walking '
One of the clowns I came with was a cancer survivor and she walked around with the banner. People were really taken aback by that. After the walk ended, the lights dimmed and people spoke about people they had lost to cancer. This continued until the next morning. ( Im out of space)
