The purpose of this “team” is to reach as many people as possible.  Recruiting people altogether will raise awareness to find a cure.  By being a somewhat independent team it will be more inviting for anyone who wishes to participate.  This way anyone that you know can donate or come to the actual relay.  You can ask coworkers, relatives, neighbors, whoever you would like. The more people involved, the better the outcome will be.  If you can’t get others to come with you or donate, it is no problem.  Just try to remember loved ones lost or loved ones who have lost somebody else.
