The Relay for Life, which takes place on Friday, May 6, from 6 p.m. to the following morning at 6 a.m., is part of a national event that raises funds for the American Cancer Society.

Fourteen teams have signed up so far for Milford's Relay, which takes part at Milford High School.

The event is to "honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much."

Relay teams camp out overnight, taking turns walking or running around the school. Relay events are up to 24 hours in length and, because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
