Teams, survivors, carers and volunteers come together to take part in a 24-hour Relay For Life event to celebrate their fundraising achievements.
Organised by a dedicated volunteer committee, this community celebration is filled with family fun.
Cancer never sleeps, so neither do we as teams set up camp and take turns to walk round the track for the duration of the event.
At a Relay For Life event there are special moments that bring everyone together:
•Our VIP guests are our cancer survivors. Each Relay for Life event begins with their Lap of Honour.
•A Candle of Hope Ceremony sees the darkness lit up in memory of those we’ve lost and in celebration of those still here.
•The sharing of information about Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking science in cancer prevention gives us real hope for the future.
•Music, games and fun from local partners get us moving.
•A celebratory closing ceremony celebrates our achievements and inspires us all to continue the fight.
