Relay For Life is a community-driven, volunteer-led event. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Relay and are crucial to its success. They are passionate, dedicated and community-minded people who generously gift their time, talents and insights. This gift of time and skills also helps to reduce running costs so that more of the funds raised can go towards research and free services to help those in our community impacted by cancer.
“Knowing that I was giving so little to contribute
to something so big and worthwhile,
was very rewarding.”
One of the greatest joys of Relay For Life is sharing heartfelt camaraderie with the many wonderful people you meet there. People of all ages and cultures gather strength together - the experience is a great leveller.
When you join as a Relay For Life volunteer, you have the opportunity to build on your own strengths and to share your special talents.
