Survivors: Celebrating Life

Survivors are the reason we Relay.

A survivor is anyone who has ever heard the words “You have cancer”. And we invite all cancer survivors in the community to attend Relay For Life of Hillsboro.

Our goal is to create a world where more people survive cancer so they can celebrate another birthday. This year more than 11 million people will be able to do that thanks to the support of millions of dedicated Relay participants.

Survivors are the guests of honor at Relay. At 12pm on Saturday, June 12, 2010 we honor our Survivors with a Survivor Lap where survivors lead the way around the track. Being a part of the Survivor Lap allows Survivors to celebrate what they’ve overcome while inspiring and motivating their community to fight. Survivors are proof that cancer can be defeated.

If you would like to participate in this year’s Survivors Lap or other activities, please sign up today.

Remember, too, that one of the ways the American Cancer Society is saving lives is by helping people get well. We’re in your corner around the clock to guide you through every step of your cancer experience.
