Relay for Life to rally community for a cancer-free future

One of Australia most-loved charity events, Relay For Life is celebrating its 25th year of uniting communities for a cancer-free future.

Since its inception in 1999 in Murembeena in Victoria, Relay for Life has rallied people across the country to move their bodies to raise funds for Cancer Council.

All funds raised during Relay For Life allow vital research, prevention and support programs to be developed to help those touched by the disease.

This year, Relay for Life will take across a variety of locations in Victoria.

Events will feature activities for the whole family, including live entertainment, food stalls and special ceremonies for cancer patients and to remember those lost to cancer.
