I hope by now, many of you have had a chance to learn about the Relay For Life event taking place in one of the world's largest virtual communities, Second Life.  Fayandria Foley, the event chair, blogs here from time to time and brags (rightfully so!) on her awesome group of international volunteers who not only "get" Relay but are blowing their event out of the water!

The kick off took place about a month ago, the official launch of the season was held Saturday and attended by about 200 people, and official fundraising began Sunday 3/16.  At last count, team recruitment was at 84 teams (up from 43 last year) and fundraising totals were at a little over $14,300 at 12pm PST today.  I don't know about you, but I'd be thrilled to raise $14k for my local event - IN THREE DAYS!

I can not be more proud to work with such an amazing group of volunteers who not only welcomed Relay into their community.  They "get it" and have made it their own!  This is such a great example of how Relay is truly universal, no matter what the community.  As Fay would put it "Go Relay!"
