Hour of Power

Introductory video to the Hour-of-Power Relay - to honor of Carleton College swimmer Ted Mullin, who passed away in the fall of 2006 from sarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. Funds raised through this event support research at the University of Chicago into the causes and treatment of sarcoma in young people. When the event began in 2006, 15 teams joined together to raise team spirit, cancer awareness and $11,000. Last year, the number of participating teams exploded to 104, including 85 college and university programs, 17 high school & club teams, and two students-abroad teams. In 2008, these nearly 6000 athletes raised over $50,000 for the Fund, bringing the three-year total to more than $100,000.

When: Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009, 5 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Central or 5 p.m. Mountain/4 p.m. Pacific
