"Relay is a fantastic community event and a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of cancer as well as much needed funds. I see Relay For Life as being my legacy to my community."
Liz Aldridge, Relay Chair
Celebrate life and unite your community
Organising a Relay For Life event is an incredibly rewarding experience, and a great way to meet new people and develop useful leadership and organisational skills.
As part of a Relay Committee, you'll help raise money for Cancer Research UK, bring your community together, increase cancer awareness and highlight ways to reduce the risk of cancer. You'll also receive support, training and advice from a Cancer Research UK staff representative.
Relay For Life events are both enjoyable and emotional occasions. Here's your chance to make a difference, and have a great time in the process!
