Out of all the votes cast, those against the project would have to outweigh those in favor of it in order for the project to die.

Pearce, who works as a reading specialist in the learning center at Berren- dos, said as a cancer sur- vivor seeing an event like the Mini Relay is awesome. “This is a great school for pulling everyone together,” Pearce said. “Everyone has someone in their family or someone they knew who has been affected and this is great community service for them to be doing something for others.” Pearce said she is hope- ful those who didn’t partic- ipate will see what a big deal it is and join next year. “Hopefully it will be even bigger,” Pearce said. “It’s a neat event and there’s been a lot of family support. Tonya and Azalea have put in so much work and really been pumping the kids up. That’s why it is so successful.” Marissa Flowerdew, a seventh-grader, is a first- time participant in Relay For Life, and has been affected by cancer. “I’m walking for my aunt who has cancer,” she said.
