Relay for Life set for Friday, April 29

American Cancer Society-Relay For Life of Cannon County is set for April 29 at 6 p.m. on the Square in Woodbury.

Set up a booth to raise money to fight cancer, purchase a luminary in memory of someone that died of cancer, join the survivor walk and more. Contact 1-800-227-2345 or Lois Larimer at 615-542-1858 or visit relayforlife.org/cannontn

The Opening Ceremony brings everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff that celebrates the lives of those who have battled cancer and reminds us all that while we are winning this battle, fighting cancer is a year-round priority

One of the most important parts of the Relay is Cancer survivors taking the first lap around the track. Cheered on by the other participants and the sound of upbeat music, the Survivors Lap lets all cancer survivors at the event celebrate their victory over cancer.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement symbolizes hope and our shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love. If cancer has touched your life, participating in a Relay For Life event is a way to take action and help finish the fight. This is your opportunity to honor cancer survivors, remember those you have lost, and raise funds and awareness to fight back and help end cancer forever.
