Relay for Life, 2007

Hamilton’s Alabama Jubilee…Robert E. Lee… An evening for people who believe in miracles… According to my first piano teacher, I’m a walking miracle. After my first year on piano she offered to buy me a trumpet. 22 years ago a surgeon in Tacoma, Washington spent 24 hour circling a track and raised $27,000 for cancer research. Relay for Life… now the world’s largest fundraiser. A miracle. And many of you out there are walking results of miracles.

I’ll play a little music and talk about miracles… Sweet Georgia Brown.. Sentimental Journey .. Darktown Strutters

Daniel: Zebco 22

Riverboat last summer.. Luggage lady.. 64. Pulled rope. A survivor of breast cancer. Get tired? “Of making people happy? Are you kidding?”

But the biggest miracle is the one you’ll receive simply by helping others.
