Relay for Life, tomorrow

dancerjodiMy brother and some friends are doing the Waltham Relay for Life this year and they are using our tent for their respite during this 24 hour walk. An Aunt of mine may be there too (she does it every year, but I'm not sure if she goes to the Waltham or the Newton one).
I'll be there tomorrow to cheer them on at the early end (I'm guessing I'll get there around 4:30 or so) before heading home to meet up with B for our evening plans. If we're not totally dead after our Friday night plans I want to also try and stop by.
Its at Brandeis University on South Street, I'm assuming at the track that's next to the athletic building. Details if you'd like to participate (from the American Cancer Society Website):
