Over the 13 McLean County Relay for Life events that team Imperial Walkers has done, we have raised over $75,000 for cancer research! We have been there every year since 2005. I remember that well, as that is the year I lost my mom to cancer. I joined team Imperial Walkers shortly after losing my mo...

A few more pictures from that evening....

There was also dancing and a silent auction. A few more pictures of our evening...

Yes! It was team Imperial Walkers 12th consecutive McLean County Relay For Life! I love this picture taken by Charlotte Hartsock of me. I had my head shaven at St. Baldricks, and since my wife didn't complain, I shaved it again a month before the Relay. I wore it as my mom, who is the one I relay in...

It was a beautiful day for a fundraiser. The temperatures were in the low 70's, and no rain! I arrived at the Villa Park Walmart at around 8:15 am, to set up my table, and get into my armor. I started getting donations right away. I greeted as any of the customers as I could, by wishing them a great...

Got to the Walmart store located at Villa Park, IL. , at 7:50 am. Got the table set up before heading in to change into my Stormtrooper armor. Was out on the sidewalk doing fundraising by 8: 30 am. About 15 minutes later, it started to rain, but I refused to let it make me call it quits, and by 1/2 ...

It was a great day for an out door fundraiser! I arrived at Walmart by about 8:45 am. Michael Stoughton TK-17294, was there already. I set up my table while Michael got into his Shocktrooper armor. We were both out and fundraising by 9 am. As usual, Mike kept the conversation light, and funny. He al...

Arrived at Walmart at about 8:20 am, got the table set up, changed into my Stormtrooper armor, and was on duty by 9 am. I gretted customers as they exited the store. Once people started realizing I was there, as they saw me as they entered the store, they came out and put donations into my bucket. L...

I got to the Walmart in Villa Park, got my table set up, decided it was a little to windy to put my poster frame up with pictures from prior "Relay for Life" events. Got the banner stand assembled, put on my Tusken mask, and was ready to go by around 8:30 am. Time passed fairly quickly, donations we...

This was a fun event, arrived at Rossi Hair Care, with a coworker from Walmart. We both got our heads shaved, I dressed in my Tusken Raider costume. I raised 145.00 online, and $70 in cash for $215 raised for St. Baldrick's.

Thank you for the update Jeremy! I wasn't sure of everyone's trooper number, and I missed a few people.

On Friday June 26th through Saturday June 27th, members of Team "Imperial Walkers" attended their 11th Relay for Life event in Normal, IL. The event kicked off at 4 pm this year. The Relay is normally done outside on a walking track, but due to the heavy rains that saturated the grounds, it made the...

After working an 8 hour shift, I drove down the street to Sears and was escorted to a changing area, where I put on my armor, and went to the main store level, and had pictures taken with shoppers. Later, as it slowed down, my wife walked me around to the various Star Wars merchandise they had on di...

I arrived and was in armor at 8:30 am on Sunday. I usually do the Relay for Life fundraisers solo, due to making last minute requests when I find out my schedule. This one, I was able to get Rex Fett and Michael Andrew Stoughtonto to come out and give me a hand. Let me tell you, I don't think I will...

This event took place at Barbara's bookstore in Burr Ridge. I was contacted by Nicole, one of the employees, who is also my step daughter. When she heard that they were having a Star Wars reads day at the store, she contacted me, and I just happened to have that Saturday off. It was a small group of...
