Relay For Life – whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track, passing the baton to your teammate or joining in exciting trackside activities, Relay For Life is more than just a cancer walk – it’s a journey. Relay For Life 2016 in Sherwood Park is a community fundraising event Sherwood Ford is proud to sponsor. This is where we join together in the fight against cancer!
The event was first held in in Canada in 1999 and raised $85,000. Together, we have come a long way. In total, Relay For Life has raised over $496.5 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. These funds are used to support Canada’s most promising cancer research and vital support services for people with cancer and their families. With your help, the Society has been able to impact so many lives.
“I’m a strong supporter of Relay For Life – I know firsthand what type of impact the money raised can have. The stem cell transplant I underwent as part of my treatment was the result of research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society.” – Carrie Walk-Boyd, Hodgkin lymphoma survivor and Relay For Life participant
The Greater Edmonton Region Relay for Life in Sherwood Park is having a 12 hour event of walking, running and strolling around the beautiful Broadmoor Lake. It runs Saturday June 11th from Noon until Midnight. Relay 2016 will include activities throughout the day. The day kicks off with an inspiring Survivors Lap and at dusk will have a few minutes of solitude with luminary lighting to honor those fighting the battle and remember those lost. This will be a day you’ll cherish as an unforgettable experience and never forget!
In 2015 alone, 196,900 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer. That means that every 3 minutes, one Canadian heard the words “you have cancer.”
