Whanganui is gearing up for this year's Relay for Life, the annual fundraiser for the Cancer Society.
Pictured at the Bounce-a-Thon in Majestic Square on Thursday lunchtime are Tyler McDonald of More FM who is the MC for the event, Annette Cox of the Cancer Society and Kellie Austin of sponsors Paua.
The Bounce-a-Thon was held to raise money for the big event on Saturday which, this year, will be packed into 12 hours instead of 24.
The Relay for Life at Cooks Gardens will start at 11am and finish at 11pm on Saturday night.
The Survivors' Lap will begin the day at 11am and the candle ceremony will still be in the evening.
