This was the Midwest Garrisons team Imperial Walkers 15th McLean County Relay for Life. It was a weather shortened event, rain and high winds managed to calm down for the start of the Relay, but it was determined that the Relay would shut down at 11pm, due to incoming thunderstorms.
Team Imperial Walkers, were awarded with a plaque for being a "2019 Extraordinary Team" present during the opening ceremony. The event kicked off at 6:00 pm and ended at 11:00 pm. Barry was being filmed for a possible documentary that a friend is doing on him. Team captain, Jeremy Wilcox, lost his father-in-law to cancer, and attended a memorial service for him on Relay Friday, but still arrived and suited up, and walked, for the last couple of hours.
