Celebrating Those
Touched By Cancer

An important part of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life^® is the celebration of nearly 11 million cancer survivors who are alive in the United States today. Survivors include anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer. Whether you are currently fighting your battle, or have been cancer-free for many years, you are a survivor. We also celebrate the many caregivers who have provided countless hours of care and support.

Survivors:  The First Lap's for You

Survivors are the main reason we continue to Relay, showing the great strides we're making in the fight against cancer.  We celebrate survivors during the opening ceremony of Relay, and invite you to walk in a special first lap.  If you would like to register to participate in this year's Survivor Lap & activities,  please click here now to get signed up today! 

Caregivers: There's a Special Lap for You, too

What's the difference between giving up or going on?  Ask a cancer survivor and you're likely to hear about a family member, friend or medical professional who made a real difference as they battled their disease.  We value these acts of caring and hono caregivers with a special lap following the opening one for survivors.  Whether your loved one has won or lost their battle with cancer, please click here now to get signed up today!
