| Relay For Life is a
fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate
survivorship and raise money for research and programs of
your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of
people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take
turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at
least one team member on the track at all times. Relay
For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer
will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will
be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
More than 20 years ago, one man took it upon himself to
raise money to support the efforts of the American Cancer
Society. Today, more than three million Americans
participate in Relay events nationwide. |
