10 Rotarians, friends, and family walked from 10 AM on July 30th to 10 AM July 31st at the Half Moon Bay Relay for Life, walking 55 miles and raising over $5,000 for the American Cancer Society. This community event brought together people whose lives have been affected by cancer – survivors, caregivers, and those who have lost loved ones. Rotary Club President Liz Schuck who walked 7 miles commented: “This event epitomizes the best characteristics of the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay – community involvement, fundraising for health challenges, personal commitment, fellowship, and leadership.”
Shana Reilly-Pond, Rotary Club member and leader of the event, was thrilled with the 13 teams who raised more than $60,000 for the American Cancer Society. Rotary Club team leaders Stacy Trevenon and Teresa Adam were onsite for nearly 24 hours, walking alongside other Rotarians, cancer survivors, friends, and family at the Half Moon Bay High School track. For the second year, Rotarian Paul Wrubel took the late night/early morning shift and walked 15 miles this year!
