Relay for Life
This past Friday, the Seton Hall University community came together to work towards a common cause: Kicking cancer’s butt. Relay for Life is a huge annual event that many organizations at SHU have their members attend in order to raise money for the American Cancer Society for cancer research and to help patients with the diagnoses.
This is obviously a great cause as so many people are affected by cancer. The idea behind Relay for Life is that cancer never sleeps– so for one night, the participants of Relay for Life don’t sleep either. They make teams and together have at least one person walking around the track in the gym all for 12 hours straight.
Why am I talking about this on a Fitness blog? Easy– instead of switching in and out with my teammates, during Relay for Life, a few friends and I walked the track almost the whole time. It might not be a very intense workout, but even light cardio is better than sitting on your butt! Getting active takes many different forms and walking is a great way to get your heart rate higher than normal.
I really enjoy reading about each of the activities you do for a cause. It really allows you to workout with helping out. I think you did an excellent job in incorporating this in this post and i absolutely love it!!
Wow! This was so helpful thank you crunchtime!!
