The Canadian Cancer Society has just announced the dates for its Relay for Life and Trenton will be one of the locations.
Relay for Life will take place across Canada on Saturday, June 10, in more than 35 communities.
Attendees will ‘Move and Be Moved’ as they take turns making their way around a track or path to raise funds while honouring and remembering all those affected by cancer.
An estimated two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
By supporting the Canadian Cancer Society’s commitment to world-leading research across more than 100 types of cancer, working with governments to shape a healthier society, and creating a compassionate national support system, Relay For Life participants have a direct impact that saves and improves lives.
Tanya Henry of the Canadian Cancer society says, “With more than 1.5 million people in Canada now living with or beyond cancer, all of us have been impacted by the disease in some way; whether through the diagnosis of a colleague, friend, family member, or ourselves.”
Open to all ages, this year’s Relay For Life will incorporate time-honoured signature components, including an opening ceremony with inspiring testimonials and a first lap to honour Participants of Hope, followed by a luminary ceremony to honour and remember loved ones.
