Team Imperial Walkers, usually do the McLean County Relay for Life in June, this years event took place in late July. The event was a combination of Relay for Life cancer walkers, and a minor league baseball game. Barry, DZ-523 was the only trooper in attendence representing team Imperial Walkers, in his Tusken costume. Pictures were taken with fans, and after the game, luminaria bags were placed around the infield, and we walked several laps, remembering those we lost to cancer, and honoring thise who have survived the brave battle. Two members of the stadiums staff showed their appreciation for DZ-523's staying for the entire event, and handed him a "Corn Trooper" from the previous weeks Star Wars night!!
