Has anyone taken part in a relay for life event? I'm thinking of joining one near me but I don't know much about it. Do I have to be on a team?

    Hi!  I know you posted this long ago, but I am new to this site.  I have participated in many Relay For Life events.  Most people are on a team, but if you want to find out what it is all about attend an event first or several...they are all a little different.  Volunteer to help with one if you would like.  Your local American Cancer Society office should be able to help.

    As a caregiver, Relay For Life has been a tremendous help to me.  It gives me an outlet and a way to feel as though I am really helpig the cause, not only my husband but people I don't even know.  Relay is a great event!

    I hope you find an event and that it becomes a part of your life.
