| Learn About Relay |
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the
globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember
loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take
turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays
are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but
each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.

What to Expect at a Relay Event
Why We Fundraise
Everyone's reason to Relay is as unique as their own personal story. At
Relay, you can find healing, comfort, and support from others who have
faced cancer or who have lost a loved one to the disease. You have a
chance to meet people in the community who are equally as passionate
about finding an end to cancer in our lifetime.
No matter why you take part in Relay, however, one thing is clear: with
every step you take, you are helping the American Cancer Society save
lives. With your help, we aren’t just fighting one type of cancer – we’re
fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.
Each person who shares the Relay experience can take pride in knowing
that they are working to create a world where this disease will no longer
threaten the lives of our loved ones or claim another year of anyone’s life.

Road to Recovery
Every day, cancer patients need rides to treatment. Some may not be able to drive themselves, and family
and friends cannot always help. Our Road To Recovery program provides rides to patients who have no
way to get to their cancer treatment.

Reach to Recovery
If you have breast cancer, you may want to talk to someone who knows what you’re feeling – someone
who has “been there.” Through our Reach to Recovery program, we can match you with a volunteer who
will talk with you about coping with your breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
