This will be a time to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
CELEBRATE
Relay starts with a Survivors Lap – an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories we’ve achieved over cancer. It's an emotional example of how Relayers are ensuring that more lives are saved each year.
REMEMBER
After dark, we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer. FIGHT BACKThe Fight Back Ceremony is where we make a personal commitment to save lives by pledging to do something simple. By taking action, you are personally taking steps to save lives.
I can't wait to hear the stories of those that have battled cancer and have won and the families that have lost. If we all start talking about it now we decrease our cancer risks.
Keep an eye out for pictures from this fabulous event!
