Review: Relay for Life

Hi guys,

I'm sure some of you should have heard of Relay for Life. Unfortunately, Relay of Life 2009 was on the 26th and 27th Sept whereas Mfest was on 27th Sept. This arrangement was really really bad. Many people who wish to go for Relay can't as they have obligation in Mfest. Hopefully, next year will be a better year where Relay for Life won't clash with any other MSA events.

Just to give you a brief introduction for Relay for Relay:

Relay for Life is a very meaningful event which aims to raise fund for cancer council and promote awareness about health lifestyle which reduce cancer. The not so serious bit will be it is a fun, outdoor and overnight fundraising event where team of 10 to 15 people take turns to walk around an oval.

Hence MSA decided to take part in this meaningful event even when this event clash with Mfest. There were 10 people in MSA Team. MSA had made arrangement to set up a tent as some of the team members wish to stay over night. Some of the interesting events/activities during Relay for Life were Miss Relay, Master Chief Challenge and the candle light ceremony.

Miss Relay was a competition where guys dressed up as girls and asked for donations. The "prettiest girl" with the most donation will be the winner of the competition.

Master Chief Challenge was similiar to the Secret Ingredient Challenge form Australia's most famous TV Show called Master Chief. Each team had to use the given ingredients and self-prepared ingredient to make a dish. The winner of the competition will be the team who prepared the most delicious, creative and healthy dish.

I like the candle light ceremony the most. People can write their wishes/hopes onto a Relay paper bags and lighted candles will be place in the bag to indicate hope (this is something like throwing a coin into a wishing well).

Overall, the event was the relay was very fun except on the 26th Sept night, the wind was every strong. Fortunately, the tent didn't give way. To raise fund, MSA sold chocolates and maange to raised around $150 for Relay for Lfie.
