the fight against cancer.
R elay For Life is a

to the disease, and fights
for a world with more birth
days. Individuals and teams
gather at a track, park or
fairground to camp out and
w alk overnight in confi
dence that their efforts will
lead to a cure.
Team s organize and
com plete fu n d raisers to
raise money for the cause,
often continuing their ef

funds bring the American
C ancer Society one step
closer to its goal o f helping
people stay well by helping
them get well, by finding
cures and by fighting back.
Since 1985, Relay For
Life has developed from
one man running around
a track for 24 hours to a
global event taking place in
more than 6,100 communi
