Susan,

   I'll be happy to talk to Father Greg about the Relay For Life and share how one is able to walk at any time (except during the Survivor Walk) from 10:00am on Friday until 10:00am on Saturday. No one is required to walk in the wee hours of the morning or for even an hour. Most teams have 30 minute sign up slots. Even further, coming to the event at all is voluntary. If he didn't want to go, he didn't have to go. However, from the cheerful demeanor he had when he came over to talk with us, I'd say he was fine with it. If he wasn't, that would me he was lying...no?

I'll be sure to talk to him about it. If YOU are perturbed because YOU had to be out late, I'd say see the above paragraph.

I had a BLAST and so did everyone else I came into contact with! The Relay For Life is a community unto it's own with most participants having had cancer themselves or have been deeply touched by watching a loved one suffer through or dying. We share a common goal, to raise awareness, funding and the hope that one day no one will have to hear the words, "You have cancer."
