Relay For Life Japan 2019 - Nagaizumi
Last year I participated in the Relay for Life Japan event in Nagaizumi. I was so happy when I was invited to attend again this year! The Ippo Ippo team picked me up at the train station and treated me like I was a regular member of their team.
It was held in the same place as last year, and the set up looked very much like it did last year.
The first lap of the relay was reserved for cancer survivors, the next for care givers, then everyone joined in.
This musical group entertained us for the first hour or so of the relay.
As it started to get dark, the luminaries were lit.
The empty table, for those no longer here.
In the evening, there was entertainment by some of the participants.
It was a two day event and we slept on futons in the big building. Just like last year, we went to sleep late and got up early the next morning.
An artist drew a picture and the relay participants filled it in with pens and paint.
This is how much money was raised!
A big thank you to Ippo Ippo and everyone at the event!
