Last year I was honoured to take part in Relay For Life 2008, fundraising for American Cancer Society. This is its' fifth year in Second Life and to date 220,000 USD has already been donated.
Last year Sara Carr and I built an entire sim, this year we have a smaller plot for our display of about an eighth of a sim.
The theme is "One World, One Hope" and our plot is based around research for cancer treatment and cures, the Hope part, and that many of those have been discovered in various exotic and mundane places within the World, the World part. We are trying to show various creatures and especially the environments in which they live and breed. Living organisms such as Sea Squirts, Primrose, Yew, and mud loving Bacteria, many of which have developed their own forms of cancer prevention.
On the right is part of the build as of today. To give you an idea of scale, you can probably see me above the Andes in South America; the moon surface is 60x60m and the earth at the back takes up another 60x60m, I am hovering above the moons horizon and only half way into the build.
