That event is the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. It’s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives.   To watch a short video on the Needham, Dedham, and Wellesley Relay For Life, click the image above. During the event, teams of family, friends, or co-workers gather together around the track and take turns walking laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.  Watch the 2008 Relay For Life Slideshow    The Relay For Life of Needham, Dedham, and Wellesley was first held in 2001, and since then it has raised over $1,500,000! This year we hope to raise $215,000!  Every spring, these three communities gather together, rain or shine, in celebration and remembrance, united to achieve a common goal: to eliminate cancer. Join us this year for the best Relay season ever! The experience is unforgettable and the sense of achievement is rewarding beyond imagination.
