BRUNSWICK
Mid-coast residents are invited to join the fight against cancer by participating in this year’s Relay For Life of Brunswick at Brunswick High School.
The event kicks off Friday, May 17 at 6:15 p.m. with a special survivors lap honoring those who have defeated cancer. Survivors and their caregivers join together to take this opening lap as the rest of the participants surround the track to cheer them on.
Relay For Life is a unique grassroots fundraising event in which individuals and teams of participants in more than 6,000 communities walk around a track overnight to celebrate the lives of those who have faced cancer, remember lost loved-ones and commit to fight back against the disease.
Money raised through Relay For Life supports American Cancer Society efforts to create a world “with less cancer and more birthdays.”
Not only an important fundraiser, Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, civic and faith-based groups — people from all walks of life — all aimed at boosting American Cancer Society efforts to save lives “by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.”
