Relay for Life is an annual event where friends, family, community groups, schools and businesses enter a team to walk in relay around the athletics track over a 24 hour period. At least one person from each team should be on the walking track at all times - all to raise money in the fight against cancer.

The event, which is open to people of all ages, focuses on remembering and celebrating the lives of those who have been touched by cancer, while raising funds for cancer research, education and support services.

There will also be raffles, lucky door prizes and tea and coffee so come along and enjoy an afternoon full of entertainment and help raise money for the Blacktown City Cancer Council Relay for Life.
