Our orange team shirts stood out wherever our team members went on the track, all knew the STCC stompers were present.
The other side of fighting back against cancer, it is a personal battle we dare not lose or slack up on.
team-members play at game at another teams tent, all to raise money to fight cancer.
friday night's meal, by 9PM we had doubles the anticipated team members
Runners and Walkers, all stop for something to eat, making certain one person is on the track at all times
Teri Roberts, a team captain, flipps the burgers for part of friday night's meal
last hot dog goes to charlie, a team captain, at about 9:45PM, all the meat is gone now, we have double the number of people anticipated, and then some.
care givers lap brings on memories, much sorrow, and a need to share amongst those of us who know how painful cancer can be to those of us who cared for but are now left behind.

drawing baskets, we made 11 of them !
drawings table volunteer sales folk, everyone takes a turn at this task, with as bright a smile as we can muster.
Relay is a Thumbs Up event for shure, it is work and it is for a good cause, and it can be FUN.
friends, new and old, are met at relay, some graduating, some just comming to college, we are all a big family, and the ties are knit stronger working for and particiapting in relay.
No words can express what is written by a child here, my only response are sobs of sorrow and a prayer for the little one that wrote this. Won't you donate again and help us "kill" this horrible thing that is cancer so it can not cause pain to any more little ones?
Our Tent, everyone one must be on the track
The eveing gave many a band performace and a would -be singer contemplates the perils of the "gong show". $1 to get on, but only $5 for someone to "gong" you off.
luminaria, up close and personal, the deepest pains find their way onto these paper bags as the night is lit up by the little candles that speak symbolically of a time when cancer will no longer be a threat that takes people away all to soon.

luminaria
gong show at night as we walked by. Sometimes the stag people would say of our orange shirts--there go the STCC stompers!
As it got darker, the luminara shown brighter, so it is with the memories of the things that those whom cancer has taken from us, as times get darker in our lives, thier words and actions shine brighter in our memories, helping us to "fight on" and "win the day" for their memory and for our children's sake.
Little hands say things us adults just can't bear to mouth, just read the words, are not your only responses to cry a little and shed a tear, even if it is only inside. Pray and donate and fight against cancer, so little ones do not need to bear the pain that us adults don't even want to talk about.
A small thing, a paper bag with some sand and a votive candle in it. But witht he words a child or greiving adult places on them, the power is there, the pain that can be expressed no other way is present, and God starts a healing, even amidst the hurt. Will you not help us reach our goal and aid to give cancer the "knock out blow" it deserves?
After the flashlight lap, smores at 4am, the STCC Stompers had at least 6 people on the track at that time.
no grill but our inventive relay leaders still provided smores at 4am, even if they had to do it one marshmellow at a time !
Smores after the flashlight lap, some more views.
More pictures of the smores at 4am. Is it because we were up at this hour and no one else seemed to be that we think this is so interesting?

We had to walk a certain number of hours in order to earn our TEAM shirt, so we set out in the begining to do just that. An orage STCC Stompers shirt means you have walked on the track and have raised money and are committed to assitting us find a "cure" for this horrible thing called cancer.
Local and national teams light up the night with the bright hope of a defeate for cancer.
Luminaria memories shine bright, even as the dawn of a new day begins to break
The luminaria spell it out, like silent fans on the bleachers cheering us on, it is all about H O P E !
The coldest part of the night, about 4AM, and with jackets on --- still we walk against cancer, every team is to have one person on the track at all times. We of the STCC Stompers have had at least 3 people all night long.
A city of walkers, some resting while others maintain the walk, fighting back and hoping for a cure for cancer. Soon the light of a new day will be dawning, wake up folks, at least 10 more hours to walk until the closing ceremonies and final laps.
Only the child that wrote this knows all about it. I do not know the people. I just cry a whole lot when I view this image. Dear God, help us find a cure for "cancer" and sooth the tender hearts of the little ones so hurt by "taking away" those that they love. As I said, my words fail me, all I can do is cry a prayer to God for this little one and her pain.
Soon the light of dawn will show a new day, and yet the luminaria do their job, and bring light to a darkened night.

When all else blurrs, and we are tired and our feet, whole legs, hurt --- still the luminaria on the bleachers remind us of the HOPE that we have and that we MUST press on with this fight against cancer, for many WE ARE THEIR HOPE as we walk on and raise money to fight cancer. Please give another donation today.
Dawns light gleams anew and yet the fading luminaria remind us that HOPE is still what this is all about
Awaken your sleepy heads, join us in the final 9 hours of walking to raise money to beat cancer, and give it the "knock out" punch.
Alexis says it all, the hope is in finding a cure for cancer. And a littel child shall lead them, the scripture says.
The image may be blurry, like our memories of smores at 4am, but we can hardly wait to tell our sleeping team mates of what the night walking was like.
The early morning light comes and the brightness of the luminaria fades but sometimes we can read the faint letters a bit better as the dawn comes, and the painful wish, the HOPE, for a cure is evident in the words of every one. May we not forget the luminaria, nore thier writers, nor the people they honored and memorialized. May we renew our effors, donate anew, and fight back today and every day against cancer.
Innocent letters by a little hand, tell of love that most of us adults can't fathom. I pray and cry and sob some more and plead with God to provide us a cure for cancer and some healing for those little ones so deeply hurt by cancer.
kaitlyn says I love you daddy, and I who have never had a child, cry my heart out. Oh please donate again, help us kill this thing called cancer so the kaitlyns of this world do not have the loss of a loved one to scare thier lives any more.

The luminaria says "we walk for you Mommy". I challenge you, can you look at this image and not have a tear come up in your eyes? I break down and bawl like a little baby. Please, do what you can to end this horrible thing that is cancer. I would that NO child had to walk for a Mommy, but that she walked with her Mommy. This luminaria alone is enough reason to raise money and do what you can to fight back and give cancer the ending blow.
The luminaria llights the way and tells of memories, of hopes, of dreams. It is now up to you and I to find the funds to do the research and put and end to that horrible thing from the pits of Hell called cancere.
Messages of memories, it is now time for us all to "fight back" with all that is within us, to find a cure for cancer and heal the hearts of those so scarred by it.
A boy scout explorer troop demonstrates thier fire fightiing skills and shows thier compassion by being at relay.
Our relay ends, but for you this may be just the begining. We pass the torch and ask you to run forward calling out to all you go by to donate to end cancer as a threat to the lives of all and the pain of little ones in our lifetime. Donate today!!!
We walk 4u Mommy

We have used up the alloted space on our server for this and will probably only keep the images here up for the summer.
But if we get more space we will put them somewhere for you to view. If, perchance, you object to your picture being
on this website, do contact charlie at ni.ck@verizon.net, and he will take that image off the website promptly.
