This is a team event where a member of your team must be on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps. I&#8217;m proud to say that a member of team S&amp;S was on the track from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. \u00a0We also had three members of our\u00a0team complete a 1\/2 marathon during the walk and received a special certificate at the end.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Relay is not\u00a0only a fundraiser, it also honors survivors and is a day to remember those that lost their battle. \u00a0At the end of the evening, Luminarias are lit to remember those that we have lost and celebrate the survivors. Team S&amp;S became a major part of this event by taking charge of the Luminaria Tent.\u00a0\u00a0Not only did S&amp;S\u00a0donate all the supplies to make the Luminaria bags for the special people that they love and have lost, but we also helped everyone make the bags and place them all around the course, and then lit them all on time for the Luminaia Lap.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very proud of my team and of S&amp;S Worldwide. We raised almost\u00a0$2900.00 with S&amp;S matching $1000 of the monies raised. \u00a0The total raised that day was $26,640. \u00a0For me personally, it was a great day. There are many reasons I walk, but my Mom is the main reason. She is a 40 year plus survivor of Breast Cancer and she showed myself and my sisters how to stay strong through adversities. I also have three daughters that I hope never have to go though what my Mom did and that a cure is found.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Relay for Life website to see <a href=\"http:\/\/main.acsevents.org\/site\/TR\/RelayForLife\/RFLCY17NE?team_id=2067203&amp;pg=team&amp;fr_id=75585\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">details on how our S&amp;S Team did!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Submitted by\u00a0Pamela Champlin, Data Management Specialist<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 17th, twenty five S&amp;S associates along with their family and friends joined 15 other teams from the East Haddam\/East Hampton\/Colchester area\u00a0for the annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life.
