Why should you join the Relay for life? Here are a few reasons why!
- its an amazing experience that you get the chance to spend with the people from your local community on the weekend
- have fun raising money (you could have competitions to see who raises the most money in your team etc)
- The Cancer Council is not government funded, so you would be helping reduce the impact cancer has on not only your own community, but others too. You should also be supporting cancer and the community
- It is important that we raise funds to fight cancer
Every dollar raised at the Relay for life helps the Cancer Council to:
- investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers
- educate people in your community about ways they can reduce their cancer risk
- advocate for cancer control
- support people during their times of greatest need
