Relay for Life Was a Huge Success!
Last June, our team here at the Physical Therapy Doctor showed up in a big way at the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life, and we’d just like to take a moment to thank all those who made the event and our
participation possible! By all accounts, the event was a huge success, raising funds for cancer research and providing a heartwarming show of support for the individuals, families, and caregivers facing the illness. As an added bonus, our team had a great time too! You see, the event ended up being more than just a relay; they had us playing volleyball and tug-of-war against other teams as well. Dubbed “Team Fearless,” our energetic volunteers weren’t afraid to get a little competitive. Not only did we win the volleyball game with the help of Dr. Mel’s pro-level plays, but we also pulled off a come-from-behind win in tug-of-war! As Robert himself remembers it: “We were about one foot from losing when all of a sudden ‘Team Fearless’ kicked into determination mode. We started tugging in unison and slowly started our comeback! We were not going to lose! It didn’t matter who fell down or who lost their footing … we just kept pulling. I was so exhausted from pulling that rope … that I could barely catch my breath … however, I was laughing so hard that breathing became even more difficult.” With a huge group effort and Dr. Mike’s “guns,” we carried the day! Showing up to support a great cause already felt amazing, but getting out of the office to compete as a team was a big plus. This was an incredible event, and we are glad to have had the chance to participate. We’d like to give a big shoutout to Sylvia Johnson and Carol Palacio, two of the many event organizers we had contact with. They did an amazing job raising funds! We’d also like to thank the many members of our community who came out and showed their support for this important cause. Thank You:
