Relay For Life is a community event and it would not be possible without the support we receive from our community. 

Survivors & Carers

Relay for Life is a time for our community to come together and celebrate cancer survivors, remember those who are no longer with us and fight back against cancer.

If you or anyone you love has ever heard the words ‘you have cancer’, you know how much it affects us and the people around us. None should face cancer alone, so whether you’re a Survivor or Carer, getting involved in your local Relay for Life can introduce you to others who are facing similar challenges and create opportunities for sharing stories, friendship, and hope.

To honour your inspiring journey, you’re invited to be our Guest of Honour at Relay for Life.

You can choose to walk in the Survivor and Carer’s Lap of Honour or just come along for the celebrations.

We encourage you to pre-register for the Survivors and Carers Lap and we will notify you once details are confirmed.

To RSVP for our Survivors and Carers Function and register for the Survivors and Carers Lap, click here and select a Survivor Carer Lap ticket.

Our communities wouldn’t be the same without you, so thank you!
