Well I can now say I have Relayed on an island and no that would not be Hawaii, but Galveston! And what an event it was, doubling its income from last year and bringing the Relay magic back to that beautiful community. This year they changed their location to Moody Gardens and what an interesting change it was.  For the first time in my career I saw an event staged in a parking lot! The track was outlined by orange cones and there was no worry of mud! 

Real estate may be about location, location, location, but Relay is about people, people, people! And the success factor of this Relay was no different. Great people who provide great volunteer leadership. Event Chair Christy Taylor relays because of her grandmother and Co-Chair Lisa Valasquez, lost her husband to cancer and now stands herself as a cancer survivor. These two truly brought energy and excitement to the Galveston event. Congratulations to Galveston and staff partner Danielle Soria-Orozco for a terrific event!
