“It’s perfect for all ages and all fitness levels. During our 12-hour event we celebrate with survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and come together as one big community to fight back against cancer. Everyone and anyone can be involved.”
She said registrations are now open to enter a team into next year’s event.
“Teams are made up of friends, family, co-workers, and your local community.
“Relay For Life is a fun event and every team brings their special energy to the event.”
The event starts with an opening ceremony, with cancer survivors and carers leading the first lap of the event. From there, teams take to the track, walking or running the track until the candlelight ceremony, said Russell.
“This is a time to remember the people we have lost to cancer. Team members then head back to the track. continuing to walk or jog until they come together for an inspiring closing ceremony. Personally inscribed candle bags are placed around the track, and their light emits a warm glow throughout the Relay venue. ”
She said the event is a great way to remember, support and celebrate cancer patients.
If you have a connection to someone who has been through cancer or is going through cancer today, or if you want to make a difference and help us reduce cancer tomorrow then Relay For Life is for you.”
