Cancer Survivors Walk Lap of Hope to
Kick Off The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Watertown/Waltham, 2014

On Saturday,
May 31st, at 3:00PM, the Relay For Life of Watertown/Waltham, will kick off with a special Survivors Lap, a moving
experience honoring those who have defeated cancer. Survivors will join
together to walk the opening lap, unified in victory and hope, while the rest
of the event’s participants surround the track to cheer them on. This
empowering celebration is just a small piece of the special experience of Relay
For Life.

Relay For Life is a unique grassroots fundraising event in
which individuals and teams of participants in over 6,100 communities
nationwide walk around a track overnight to celebrate the lives of those who
have faced cancer, remember loved one lost, and commit to fight back against
the disease. The money raised through Relay For Life supports the efforts of
the American Cancer Society to create a world with less cancer and more
birthdays.

Relay For Life events are held at an athletic track, park,
or fairground, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track
or pathway at all times. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event,
but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites at the event.
Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals,
schools, and faith-based groups to finish the fight against cancer.

If you are a cancer survivor or caregiver and would like to
take part in the Relay For Life of Watertown/Waltham, call your American Cancer Society at
1-800-227-2345.
