Why Relay

Relay For Life is not just about the amazing experience of spending the weekend with people from your local community. It’s also about the fun ways your team can raise money in the lead up to the day.  

Cancer Council is not government funded. We need your support to help to reduce the impact cancer has on our communities.

Every five minutes, another Australian is diagnosed with cancer. While survival rates are improving every day, cancer remains a leading cause of death. That’s why it’s so important that we raise funds to fight cancer.  Every dollar raised at Relay For Life helps Cancer Council to:

• Investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers
• Educate people in your community about ways they can reduce their cancer risk
• Advocate for cancer control
• Support people during their times of greatest need.
