Relay For Life to be held in Grand Bay-Westfield in 2010

The Canadian Cancer Society is excited to announce that the world’s largest charitable fundraising event is coming to Grand Bay-Westfield. Relay For Life is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honour loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against this devastating disease. This rewarding 12-hour overnight event is an opportunity to come together and fight to make cancer history.

The Grand Bay-Westfield Relay For Life Event will be held at the River Valley Middle School track on June 11, 2010. The Relay will be held from 7:00 pm until 7:00 am. Teams of 10 – 12 people will take turns walking or running the track over the 12 hour period.

The Relay will start with the Survivor’s Victory Lap which is an opportunity to celebrate and recognize cancer survivors. Their strength, courage and determination gives hope to others battling cancer. A moving Luminary Ceremony will be held at 10:00 pm, when candles are lit in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer or in honour of cancer survivors. Their light honours loved ones and provides inspiration to participants all night long. Entertainment and activities will be planned throughout the evening.
