Each year, across the nation, one event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life�. It�s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we�ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives. The Relay for Life is one of the ways the American Cancer Society works toward its mission of eliminating cancer as major health issue. Thanks in part to the donations from Relay For Life and other events, the Society is saving lives, helping those touched by cancer, and empowering people to fight this disease all over the world.
