These are just a few of the teams who have made commitments to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life 2014, a 24-hour overnight event.

It only takes five or more people to form your own team under the name of a church groups, businesses, schools, families and friends honoring loved ones.  If you are really clever, you can create your own team name.

Relay brings an array of participants together to fight against cancer.  It’s a unique way to inspire hope and to create awareness to help those facing the disease.

You don’t need to be a runner or even a walker to participate.   The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking, running or rolling around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.

Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer.  It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer.  This is a great, family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the teams.
