Relay for Life






A few weeks ago, Conor, Beatrice, and I participated in ECU's Relay for Life, which is an all-night walkathon to raise money to fight cancer. Different groups from ECU all had booths and various themes. Conor's geography program picked "Woodstock" as their theme and had a tie-dye party to make outfits. Beatrice was a very lucky girl--the girls in Conor's program tie-dyed a onesie for her so that she could fit in. We Health Psychology PhD students picked "80s Aerobicize" as our theme and all dressed accordingly, in pink spandex and leg warmers to boot.

Beatrice had a blast. She was awake for almost 5 hours while we were there--just wide-eyed and taking in all of the sights and sounds. She made lots of laps on the track, courtesy of Albee, one of my friends, who delighted in pushing her stroller around the track all night.
