Luminaria - Whatever the challenge keep on fighting

Pam Stephan
A luminaria, a paper bag weighted down with sand and lit by candles, reminds us, "Whatever the challenge keep on fighting" as students walk and run laps on the track. Luminarias were set up along the edge of the track, to help remind the participants of those who will benefit from funds raised to support cancer research. Many of these luminarias were decorated in honor or support of a loved one that has struggled with cancer. Decorations included photos, brightly colored stickers, and messages of hope and encouragement.
