Relay For Life is
the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in
a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer.
The event begins
with a Survivor lap around the track. Then later a Candle light ceremony
is held to honor Cancer Survivors and remember those who we've lost to
this disease.
Relay for Life is
a team event. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and
take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked
to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.
Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that
brings together more than 3.5 million people to: Celebrate the lives of
those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others
to continue to fight. Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay,
people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and
find healing. Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by
cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.
