Survivors and Carers

Relay For Life is a moving celebration of cancer survivorship and the Survivors and Carers Lap of Honour provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with survivors and their carers and to promote a message of HOPE that affirms people do survive cancer.

For the newly diagnosed, Relay offers a chance to meet someone who has survived the same type of cancer. For the cancer patient in treatment, Relay provides an opportunity to share with others. For the long-term survivor, Relay encourages recognition of their struggle.

Caregivers also find hope in Relay For Life. These individuals give their time, love and support to friends, family and neighbours who face cancer. At Relay, everyone understands the challenges and joys of being a caregiver. There is peace of mind knowing that together we can face the challenges ahead.

Cancer Council’s Relay For Life would be honoured to have you as our special guests and take part in the first lap of the Relay known as the Survivors and Carers Lap of Honour.  This forms part of the Opening Ceremony and is followed by a reception, a chance to mingle with other courageous people.  You do not need to be part of a Relay team to participate in the Survivors and Cares Lap of Honour.
