The organizers are very excited for the 12 hour program filled with exciting entertainment, awareness and fun. Some of our popular ceremonies also had a dust off to have that goose bumps effect.
Relay is there to support those who have been touched by cancer, remember those who we have lost to Cancer and to fight back. And this is exactly what we are going to do in 2016.
