Relay for Life

Support your local chapter of the Cancer Society by participating in the Relay for Life fundraising program. The program is run in many countries by the local Cancer Society. Most also have a "Survivor's Victory Lap" which honours those who have survived the battle. 

For Canada click here; 
http://www.cancer.ca 
From here click on Relay for life (on the right). 
Click Find an event near you. 
Then choose your province.

For the U.S. click here: 
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/GI/gi_1.asp
Just enter your zip code on the right and it will find the relay events near you.

For the UK click here:
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/

For Australia click here: 
http://www.cancer.org.au 
Click on EVENTS then scroll down to the bottom and click on "state or territory cancer council". It appears this will only give you phone numbers to call to get details, but I didn't look too hard to see if it gave event dates/locations or not.

Most in Canada and the United States are run in May and June, however in some of the southern U.S. States they might run earlier due to the summer heat. Other countries may run during other months to take into account local seasons and weather. If you have information about the events in your country please contact the webmaster.
