On June 12th, the Relay for Life hit Saskatoon and I soon found myself volunteering to help out and witness for the first time, all of what the relay for life is about. My Grandmother has someone come in everyday to help her around the house and one of the ladies suggested the Relay for Life to me. It was my first time but I had such a great and memorable time I know that I will be back again next year.

Just last Christmas my Uncle Ken died from a serious brain tumor. Helping out at the relay didn't really affect me until it started to get dark and the luminaries that I had been selling all night began to light up the track. It was very emotional lighting my uncle's luminary but it really helped me to move on and I feel like the relay is something that I should be a part of next year.
Sadly I did not attend this even as a title holder, I decided not too because I had not learned about the relay until one night before so I decided that I would simply go to help out and enjoy myself. I did get a volunteer shirt which I took a couple of pictures with my tiara and sash. I really had a good time with the Polka Dot Cruisers, my Grandmother's home care helpers, and we shared a lot of laughs and a few tears too. I was surprised when I met Miss Rodeo Saskatchewan, we chatted for a bit about our different pageants and I wish her good luck in her pageant this summer in New Mexico! I hope she doesn't get too hot out there!
