Cancer doesn’t discriminate.  It affects all races, ages, and sexes. Either you or someone you know has been affected by cancer.

One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.  The money raised at Relay saves lives by funding cutting edge cancer research, early detection and prevention, education, advocacy efforts, and life-affirming patient services. It is because of your involvement that we are able to save lives, help those battling cancer, and empower all to fight back against the disease.

Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back

  • Celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer.  The strength of survivors inspires others to continue their fight.
  • Remember loved ones lost to the disease.  At Relay, people who have walked alongside others battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
  • Fight Back.  We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.  Make a commitment to save lives by taking up the fight.
