Name: Christine Gabler and Chris Hallock.

Involvement: Co-chairs, Relay for Life 2009 and 2010.

Why we’re involved: My brother Chris and I relay to honor the life of our Mom, Carla. She was a beautiful soul and a terrific grandma. We miss her in our lives every day.

When we spend our time this summer at the track doing what we can to raise money and awareness, it will be easy to envision her cheering us on at the sidelines. We want to do what we can in this life to make a difference … one lap at a time.
