Relay For Life is the cancer fighting event in which we celebrate cancer survivors, remember those we have lost and fight back against the disease that takes too much from too many.  You can help by being part of a committee, form your own Relay For Life team, invite a cancer survivor to be honored, host an event to bring cancer education to your place of work or school and most of all, volunteer.
