=| Why I RELAY : LET’S FIND A CURE

“Cancer won’t quit. So neither can we.” Those are some of the words displayed on the Relay for Life page from the American Cancer Society.

In 2020 COVID-19 shook the world, bringing with it sickness and death across the globe and bringing life for many to a standstill. What it didn’t stop was cancer. With the medical advances of science and technology a vaccine has been made to fight COVID-19, but for all the years cancer and its many strains have been around, there is still no definitive cure. The best hope is early detection.

Songs from the Faire by Banshee Heartsong from Saffia Widdershins on Vimeo.

In 2020, Banshee Heartsong decided to create live written poetry for the Fairelands. Her plan was to write on each sim and to be as inclusive of as many people as she could. “This is important,” she says, “because other people and the beauty of the worlds built turn lights on for me that would never occur otherwise.”

Banshee spent the first 9 days writing and illustrating her poems and then created a book that was sold throughout the Fairelands in the last seven days of the Faire, to raise money for Relay for Life of Second Life. She also gave a reading of her poems at the Literary Festival.

Fantasy Faire at Relay Weekend

This year we have a nineteenth Faireland, present only during the Relay Weekend on the track. Come wander the slumbering forests, almost ready for their annual rest within the Mists, come meet other Fairelanders, finalize your Faire shopping, and enjoy the touch of peace the Fairelands always bring — before you’ll head out for another lap on the track.

Silvasomnia (RFL CURE) was designed by Saiyge Lotus. It is sponsored by Jeanette’s Joint with additional support from Secrets of Gaia, the Ravenheart Museum, Eagle’s Photo Studio, Teegle, the Lost Unicorn Gallery, the Dark Unicorns of Lovelace, Trinity Clothing and Little, Big Designs. The official Fantasy Faire gachas along with numerous other RFL vendors from our sponsors are available for the weekend.

A SENSE OF WONDER

Wow.

There’s no other word for this year’s Faire: it’s been astonishing. As we enter the Fairelands’ final few days, we wanted to thank each and every one of you for the remarkable things we’ve all accomplished together. It’s a dark time in the Outworld, but here in the Fairelands you’ve shown us that the light of hope is stronger, brighter and more powerful than ever.
