Cancer Survivors: The Heart of Relay For Life
At Relay For Life, cancer survivors hold a special place in our hearts. They are the reason we walk, the inspiration behind every lap, and the driving force behind our mission to fight back against cancer. Whether they’re part of a team walking the track or simply joining us as honoured guests, survivors are at the centre of everything we do.
Who Is a Cancer Survivor?
A cancer survivor is anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis—past or present. Whether you are currently undergoing treatment, have completed your journey to remission, or are years beyond your diagnosis, you are a survivor. Your courage and resilience are a beacon of hope for everyone in the Relay For Life community.
A Celebration of Strength and Resilience
Relay For Life is more than an event; it’s a celebration of life and a tribute to the strength of cancer survivors. Here’s how we honour our survivors:
Lap of Honour: The Relay begins with a powerful and emotional Lap of Honour, where cancer survivors take centre stage. As they walk the track, our relay teams gather around the outside to cheer them on, creating a moment filled with love, respect, and gratitude.
A Special Lunch: After the Lap of Honour, all survivors are invited to join us for a complimentary celebratory lunch. It’s a chance to connect with others, share stories, and enjoy a heartfelt moment of recognition and togetherness.
