Every dollar makes a difference, your donation helps fund cancer research, free rides to chemo, lodging near hospitals, and provide information, support, and guidance to patients and families via our 24/7 helpline.
Relay For Life is a tribute to those who have been lost to cancer, a celebration for those who have survived cancer, and a hope for those who currently face cancer that one day through our efforts cancer will be eliminated. COVID-19 has changed the way we Relay. But with everyone’s support, we can make sure the fight to end cancer doesn’t stop.
