GUELPH – With one in two Canadians diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, cancer affects every Canadian, in every city, across the country.
“But when cancer hits close to home, community matters,” Canadian Cancer Society officials state.
“It is a source of strength, courage and hope.”
The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life brings together communities, united by the same goal of creating a world where no Canadian fears cancer.
Relay For Life Wellington County will be held on June 14 at the Guelph Lake Conservation Area.
”Whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track or joining in exciting track-side activities, Relay For Life is an unforgettable event,” said Kaitlynn Barrett, community fundraising specialist for the Canadian Cancer Society.
By taking part in relay, participants help fund ground-breaking research as well as essential support services for people living with cancer and their families.
Relay For Life is a global movement that inspires individuals and communities to take action and rally around the cause.
The journey can be long and difficult for those who have to deal with the disease but like any relay, it can be taken alone or in teams, in silence or in laughter and joy.
