We're Headed to the Relay for Life

A couple weeks back, our bobsled team was invited to participate in a community event to promote healthy living. During this event, we had the privilege of meeting Melissa Lowry, the Cottonwood Heights local Relay Online Chair.

We got to talking about the upcoming American Cancer Society Relay for Life and what they were planning. Melissa wanted our team to participate in the event and well, it wasn’t long before the Don, Brad and I got the wheels in our heads moving. We started coming up with a couple of different things we could do to participate in the event.

If you've never heard of the Relay for Life, here’s what’s going on.

The relay is an all-night event where teams of people will take turns walking around a local track to help raise money and fight cancer. During the event, we’ve decided to bring the bobsled to the track and place it on wheels. We are going to offer rides to people who want to sit in the bobsled and be pushed by our team.

We’re all stoked about the idea. Not only is it for a great cause, but we are also going to get a bit of a workout in the process. The riders are going to have it cushy; maybe even try to find a couple pillows to place in the sled to make the ride that much more appealing.

We will be charging people to ride in the sled, but all of the proceeds will be going directly to the cause.

If you happen to be in Utah, and would like to come check it out, here are the details.
