Team East Coast Martial Arts attended its first Relay for
Life event on June 8th.
The opening speech
was given by our own Steve Hindman. It was very inspirational and encouraged
many.
Then the opening lap was made by the survivors. Here is Mr Hindman and his mom Joanne walking
the survivor lap.
Our team had 4 “Endurance Walkers” These are people who walk
the track for the entire 18 hours, and get one 10 minute break every hour.
A Big round of applause for our walkers who were Brian
Geiser, KJ Shaheen, Jessica Offineer, and Scottie Moritz.
Another fun part of the event was the “Miss Relay Contest”
One man from the team dresses up like a woman and lip syncs to a song. Our
“Miss Relay” was Fred Poinar.
He did look very lovely as Miss Relay, even if he did forget
to shave. Will we have a new “Miss
Relay” next year, or will Mr Poinar not want to give up his title?
Still being a good sport, instructor Fred Poinar presents
his 'Miss Relay Award' to Steve Hindman.
On Saturday we had our morning MMAFit class outdoors at the
event!
Thank you to everyone
who came out, volunteered, walked, donated and supported through thoughts and
prayers. We CAN Submit Cancer Together.
The event has raised over $60,000 and Team East Coast raised
over $8,000!
