The Infomaniac Racers' Campsite























This is a view of our campsite from atop the waterfall. The Relay for Life consists of 20 sims, a route that will take about an hour to walk, and incredible builds for the public areas. It also has the campsites for the over 80 teams that have been working hard to generate funds to fight cancer.

The campsite is a place for the team members and their friends to relax, talk, dance, and have fun. Because we are all lovers of libraries, we decided to create oversize books that pay tribute to those who have been impacted by cancer. The stories and writings are beautiful. I hope you will come by to see them. I'll send a landmark as soon as the sims are made open to the public. The bridge is called the Booklyn Bridge!

This photograph says hope to me. A new day, another chance to love and be loved. And of course, it says that we are not alone in our desire to rid the planet of cancer.

One of the goals is to have a team member walking the track at all times for the 24 hours of the relay. The reason for this is that cancer never sleeps. I consider each of you an honorary member of the Infomaniac Racers team. If you could walk for one hour in honor of all those who have been affected, it would be a wonderful thing! But, honestly, the kind support you give on a daily basis is reward enough. Haldin and I have had some trying times, but you, dear friend, have made it so much easier to bear.

When we come to SL we know that we are cared about, cared for, and loved! We know that you will help us laugh! You are making a positive difference in our lives. There are not words enough to thank you. But, know that each of you is special. Very special! In many ways you have become our extended family.

Many thanks to Krull Aeon for the terra forming, and the creation of a magnificent water feature that only existed in the imagination. My appreciation to Amalia Broome and Judi Newall for their significant contributions as well.
