07/10/2021 Sat Mclean County Relay for Life

Post by bobafrettTK523 »

This would be team "Imperial Walkers" 17th McLean County Relay for Life. The pandemic has made things different. The committee for the RelayForLife, chose to make the Relay this year, into a scavenger hunt, with photo booths placed over 3 different towns. The Imperial Walkers, being a costumed team, and having costumes that are difficult to impossible to drive in, made this years Relay, very different. Team captain, Jeremy Wilcox, was going to be out of town, and Thomas Durbin, had moved out of state. Barry Benecke II (TK-523) opted to have his own virtual Relay, from his front lawn in Lombard, IL. Barry set up his Relay canopy in the front yard, put on his armor, and walked laps around his neighborhood. Barry's friend, Tracy, who is a cancer survivor, stopped by. Later, Barry walked 5.01 miles out of his armor. Team Imperial Walkers hopes that next year will be back to a more normal Relay!

This years Relay had 16 teams, and 74 participants
Team Imperial Walkers had 3 troopers who raised money for the American Cancer Society, they are:
Barry Benecke II TK-523 $2,392.95
Thomas Durbin TX-9293 $1,611.32
Jeremy Wilcox TK-7503 $100.00

Direct funds $4,229.27
Indirect funds $51,913.03

Team Imperial Walkers was #3 out of 16 teams
Barry Benecke II TK-523, was #5, and Thomas Durbin TX-9293 was #7 out of 74 participants.
