About me: Relay For Life®, the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ® events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease.
But, Relay isn't about taking laps -- it's about coming together in the fight against cancer. It’s a time to remember those lost to this disease and celebrate those who have survived. It’s a place where people connect with others, share the cancer experience, and find comfort and solace. And it's an opportunity to build hope for a future where cancer no longer threatens the lives of the people we love.
As volunteers and donors, your efforts support research, education, advocacy, and services that allow the American Cancer Society to offer help and hope to people across the country when they need it most. By joining together at Relay, we celebrate life, friendship, and an opportunity to work to defeat cancer for future generations.
Sign up today to become a part of the Relay For Life® effort in your community, and you too can fight back against cancer.
Who I'd like to meet: I walked around a track today...
I walked to help a disease go away.
I walked because there is a need.
I walked that bodies could be freed.
I walked to give a small child hope.
I walked to help someone cope.
I walked for a husband or a wife.
I walked to give someone life.
I walked with my head held high...
I walked for that one about to die.
I walked excitedly, not demure.
I walked to help find a cure
I walked for everyone to see.
I walked for you, I walked for me.
