Have you signed up a team for Relay For Life?
Do you have a story to tell, or a special reason you're entering? Perhaps you took part in the last event and would like to share your experience? We'd love to hear your stories! Email helen.nickisson@stuff.co.nz or call 021 198 8197.
Relay For Life is an inspiring community experience that gives everyone a chance to celebrate cancer survivors and carers; remember loved ones lost to cancer; and fight back by raising awareness and funds to support the work of the Cancer Society.
Everyone and anyone can be involved, whether you have a connection to someone who has been or is going through cancer, or you just want to make a difference.
The money raised through the event helps people in the community through the Cancer Society’s support services, health promotion programmes and cancer research.
