If you’ve ever heard the words, “You have cancer,” we would like to invite you to attend your local Relay For Life event. As a cancer survivor, you’ll be a guest of honor and cheered on by your community. Cancer patient caregivers are also a major part of Relay For Life events and are honored for their support. Whether you’re a survivor or caregiver, getting involved in your local Relay For Life event can introduce you to others who are facing the same challenges, and provide opportunities for learning, sharing, and friendship. How registered Survivors Participate in Relay For Life There are many ways cancer survivors can participate in a Relay For Life event. For example, you can: Enjoy the FREE Cancer Survivor’s Reception at 7 pm on May 31st, 2013 with a friend or family member Join fellow cancer survivors and caregivers in the opening lap of the event Participate on a Relay For Life team with friends and family members Share your commitment to fighting cancer and join your local Relay For Life Event Planning Committee
