Becky Rusnak's team | At 10 p.m. Saturday night, bagpiper Alex Gislason played "Amazing Grace" as partipants silently walked around the track lit by 630 luminaries. Names of cancer survivors and those who lost their battle with the disease were written on the bags. Other laps were light-hearted - Poker, Sing out Loud, Silly Hat, 3-legged, pajama lap, etc. By Sunday morning, the teams had donut-eating contests, pizza parties, hula hoop contests, scavanger hunts, and a pancake breakfast.
