Team Trela

vs. Team Trela, 2008

It's almost that time of year again!

Two years ago, when I was going through radiation treatment at Mayo Clinic, my staff put together a staff vs. students basketball game. The money raised definitely eliminated a lot of our travel/lodging/food expenses during my 5 week-stint at Radiation Beach...and then some. It was a fun game, especially since the teachers were triumphant. Last year we again held a staff vs. students game, but since I was in a different place medically (fortunately) this time we used the money to buy DVD's to be used in the chemotherapy area of my oncology office. So, that poses the question... what to do this year? I'm opening it up to suggestions! I'm not sure if it needs to be cancer focused (will it always be? don't know!) or kid focused or something else! Let me know what you think!

The game this year is on Friday, February 5th about 3pm in the gym in my fancy new school. Come by and check it out if you're in the area!
