The cancer survivors walked the first lap of the Relay For Life.
Each survivor wore their Survivor Medallion and held a helium filled balloon.
The entire audience applauded during the entire lap.
The sound was deafening. At the end of the lap, all of the survivors
filed out of the building, and at the Master Of Ceremonies signal,
said a silent prayer, and let their balloons go.
The balloons quickly floated up and away, to land who knows where.
