As a co-captain for Goreans in Relay for Life team 10

 I have built a garden for the contest this year

The garden represents the four seasons of the year and the importance of making memories year-round.   The overall message is to make cancer history so we can make more treasured memories with friends and family affected by cancer. 

The four seasonal gardens have a whimsical feel to them and I hope they make you smile.  Please take that smile with you as you enter the memorial in the center.  I do not want the memorial to be a sad place.  I believe the best way we can honor the memories of those we have lost is by remembering the special times we shared.

Incorporated into the gardens is information on the missions of the American Cancer Society. .  

Floating candles and blooms surround and float under the memorial

The garden is divided into five sections.  As you enter each area the story it represents is posted outside the section.

Center  - Memorial Garden 

The tree in the center represents the 'Tree of Life'.  It symbolizes our spiritual existence and how our life branches out in so many direction. It also represents how deep the roots of our individual story reach out and intertwine with others from all over the world.
