Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature fundraising event and is the number one fundraiser aimed at eliminating cancer in the world. Each year, four million people at over 6,000 events in 24 countries participate in this overnight walk to fight against this disease that takes too much from too many. Relay For Life events raise critical funds that fuel the mission of the American Cancer Society, an organization that touches the lives of so many. Relay For Life events not only raise money for cancer research, but for services that focus on improving a cancer patient's quality of life as well as cancer prevention and early detection programs. Did you know you can call a cancer specialist at 1-800-227-2345 24 hours a day 7 days a week because of Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society. You can ask them about specific cancers, treatment options, medicines, trials, they support in locating resources to help patients through their journey.
