Altadena Saturday III: Relay for Life

Betty
The American Cancer Society’s third Altadena Relay for Life filled Farnsworth Park with hope, courage, and determination.  Survivors, caregivers and anyone concerned were in abundance, walking, talking, and sharing a common enemy in cancer.  Above, Betty Butler checks in new walkers.

John Pings and Andrea Sweet, two of the driving forces behind the Relay, share a moment during the morning.  More pictures and video after the jump.

Of course, there was music and entertainment throughout the day.

And several local businesses contributed what they could (allow us a self-serving moment!)

Betty Butler again, but this time as a cancer survivor delivering the keynote speech before the evening’s luminaria walk.

We have raw video (raw=”it was really dark out there and we were walking backwards with a camera in pitch blackness”) on YouTube:
