Team Berls

I woke up Friday morning with a horrible headache.  I was nauseous and miserable all day, so I spent the day in bed.  About 4:30, I started feeling better which was good news since I had the honor of being invited to the Relay for Life dinner.  My friend Julie Davis' daughter Emily Davis got together with a group of her friends and sponsored a team on my behalf.  The dinner was really nice, and then we headed up to the gym.  I walked the first lap with the survivors, and then the caregivers were invited to join.  Mike joined me, as expected, and we continued to walk.  Then much to my surprise my First Graders, their parents, and my fellow teachers joined me too!  I was shocked! So many people walked with me making it very clear that I am not alone on my road to recovery!
My First Graders carried signs and banners as they walked.

I hear my First Graders were a little anxious as they waited to surprise me!

So many coworkers came to show support!


Emily Davis led the way for the Hunting for a Cure team.
