Everyone busy with these preparations and the buzz is truly amazing. Builders are going crazy building their teams campsite, and everyone getting their last RFL events completed for what is the climax of these last 4 months.
Everyone secretly wondering what this years total will be, and SO AM I.
SO, if you haven't seen the ACS RFL of SL web site this week, you might want to take a peek at the total raised so far. Last year we raised $222,000 US funds for RFL. On Monday (with 12 days to go) the total was updated for this year and the unofficial total now sits at $225,384 US funds!!!! WooooT!
This alone is an amazing testament to the 100's of teams and the 1,000's of volunteers.
Anyhow, here is the hour by hour laps, being planned for Relay Weekend
