VIDEO: Patch Editor Gets Dunked at Relay for Life

To help raise money for the 2011 Relay for Life in New Lenox, I took the plunge in the dunk tank.

I hope you laugh as much as the little kid at the end of the video when you watch me get dunked over and over. And over.

There were a lot of laughs Friday night at the 2011 Relay for Life in New Lenox, despite the heavy backdrop of the terrible disease that cancer is. We're all affected by cancer in some way, so giving back any way possible should be encouraged. 

I was happy to be a part of the Relay for Life's dunk tank this year, thanks to the Steps Toward a Cure Team. If you missed me this year, maybe I'll be in the tank again next year, or perhaps running a team.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the cause, and thank you even more to the people who missed the target on the dunk tank.
