CANCER COUNCIL 24-HOUR RELAY FOR LIFE [October 25th-26th]
Most of us, if not all, have lost someone very special to cancer. Loved ones, friends, family, or colleagues. This is a day we come together to remember those we have lost, praise those who have survived, and lift those who are fighting.
Back in 2022, we participated in the Cancer Council 24-hour Relay For Life West Coast, and we're back again for 2025. If cancer doesn't sleep, then neither will we!
As a team we raised over $4,000 for cancer research, and completed 453 team laps (a whopping 181km!) in 24-hours. We are looking to raise over $5,000 this year and we need your help.
More details to follow in the coming months, but here's how you can help:
π Donate prizes for our raffle (drawn in October)
π Contribute to our fundraiser page
π Join our team (and participate!)
π Pitch a tent and help us get through the graveyard shifts
π Bring us hot food, or entertain us when the going gets tough
We will be running internal competitions on the day, personal challenges to complete (if you're feeling competitive, or just love chasing a fitness goal), and there is various entertainment throughout the day.
We'll have an allocated site on the relay oval for the 24 hours, and free breaky is offered for all participants in the morning. The aim is that we have a minimum of one walker / runner on the field at all times, carrying the team baton and counting laps towards our team total.
This is a tough challenge (especially for those of us who will be 'running' on minimal sleep), but it's bloody worth it for the cause!! I'm doing this in memory of my late stepdad who lost his battle many many years ago, and in the fight for my stepdad who was recently diagnosed. F*** cancer!!
