Relay for Life One day.  One night. One community:  By participating in an American Cancer Society Relay for Life event near you, you honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to the lives lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it - all right in your community.  Much more than a walk around a track, relay is a time to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember those lost and get inspired to fight back.  Those who have shared the same experience find common ground, hope and healing at relay.  By participating, you have the power to continue the American Cancer Society's progress toward a future where cancer doesn't take lives of our friends and family.
