Celebrating National Cancer Survivors Month at Relay for Life in Shelton

Below are several of my favorite survivors who celebrated June 2. 

We all belong to the 'Circle of Friends' breast cancer support group at Griffin Hospital in Derby. 
We posed after enjoying a Survivor Luncheon provided by Griffin Hospital at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life at the Shelton Riverwalk.

It was quite hot as survivors and caregivers walked laps in the direct sun around the field. 
I really don't know how all of the volunteers did all they had to do to keep the event running. They did a great job!
