Relay for Life is an organized, community fundraising walk that incorporates different teams of people that “relay” for hours (3 p.m. to 3 a.m. at LVC). Participants give up their own sleep to demonstrate that cancer never sleeps and therefore neither should we. The best part about Relay for Life is that participants do not come empty handed.
