Bunbury 2024

Welcome! Relay For Life is a fun and moving experience, which raises vital funds for Cancer Council WA’s research, prevention and support services. Relay is a chance for the community to recognise and celebrate local cancer survivors, those going through a cancer experience and their carers. We will also honour and remember loved ones lost, and raise money to help save more lives. Join the thousands of West Australians who take part in Cancer Council WA’s Relay For Life each year and make strides towards a cancer free future. Start or join a team in the 2024 Bunbury Relay today!
