Kilted at Relay for Life

**Riverkilt** · 11th May 13, 09:00 PM

Our little town of about 6,000 has at least 150 cancer survivors. I'm one of them and they do it up big for us at the Relay for Life. This year it was a boat trip up lake to Antelope Canyon then down to the backside of the dam followed by an elegant lunch buffet at the Rainbow Room at Lake Powell Lodge. Then the Relay for Life at night at the high school football field.

Wore my blue RKilt leather for the boat trip, then switched to my USA Kilts Isle of Skye casual for the Relay. Didn't get any pics of the later though. Here are a few pics from the boat trip.

They run this big tour boat up the narrow canyon then turn it around somehow and come back out...

Here's the lake side of the dam (Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River).

Took this pic on the first lap of the relay - the Survivor's Lap. Our t-shirts said "I Am Hope" this year. That's the truth for sure.

And, the RKilt blue leather cargo I wore for the trip uplake.

Thanks for sharing, Ron.

Captivating photos, as always. As a fellow cancer survivor, I know what you mean about hope. You keep on walking; keep on taking and sharing those pictures; and pass that flame of hope on.

By the way, blue leather must be the perfect choice for a lake trip!

Ron, as stated by others, walk on!

My wife worked at CHW at the cancer center until it closed, she now works at MD Anderson cancer center at Banner here in the valley. I have met many survivors, and more often than not, my thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table is graced my one or more patients who have no family or are unable to travel to be with family.

We attend many walks, runs, and other events, odd thing is I've never attended while kilted...

Perhaps the next event though
