Relay for Life is a community event where teams participate in a relay-style walk or run to raise funds for Cancer Council. The event brings the whole community together for a night of fun, entertainment, celebration and remembrance. Each Relay For Life event is organised by a local volunteer organising committee on behalf of Cancer Council.
In 2012 we raised over $140,000 to help fight cancer - let's do it again and have an amazing time meeting new people and fundraising.
CELEBRATE | REMEMBER | FIGHT BACK
Celebrate - Local survivors and carers are invited to walk the first lap of the track while the rest of us cheer them on.
Remember - The Candlelight Ceremony of HOPE is held at dusk to Remember those lost to cancer. Candles are placed in paper bags lovingly inscribed with messages from family and friends. These candles are placed around the track to encourage us all to remember those who lost the fight and be inspired to keep going.
Fight Back! - A special Fight Back Ceremony is held where participants are invited to make a personal pledge on how they will make a change to fight cancer.
