Survivor's Lap around the track
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. This all night effort is to symbolize the fact that cancer never sleeps.
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.
