Relay For Life
Description
The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings many people to:
- Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer.
- Inspire others to continue to fight.
- Remember loved ones lost to this disease.
- Put an end to the disease by fighting back.
There are certain traditions at all Relays, which help participants celebrate, remember, and fight back. To celebrate, The Survivors Lap the survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. To remember, The Luminaria Ceremony is held after dark and candles are lit inside bags filled with sand. Each bag holds the name of a person touched by cancer, and participants walk a lap in silence. To fight back, the Fight Back Ceremony makes a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer.
