Jun 24 – Relay For Life For Cancer Research
The hugely successful Relay For Life event of 2013 is back again for 2015, and cancer survivors and teams are urged to sign up for the event.
Relay For Life will once again be a 24 hour event, to be held at the Victoria Stadium from 11am on Saturday 12th to 11am on Sunday 13th September 2015 to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
Relay For Life consists of members of different teams walking around the running track over 24 hours. At least one member from each team must be on the track over the duration of the Relay.
Teams are encouraged from all sectors of the community; groups of friends, families, work colleagues, sports associations or any others who may wish to make up a team and take part. Businesses are encouraged to enter this event as it can be a good team building exercise, and at the same time raising funds for a worthy cause.
Teams of 8 to 15 members register for a fee of £15 per person. This amount will also go towards the total amount raised by the team. Once registered, teams then go on to undertake their own fund raising activities as they wish, up to the date of the Relay.
Relay For Life is not a competition, neither at the event itself nor in the amount of funds raised, but we would welcome teams to set their own challenges and raise as much as possible.
Relay For Life will also be a celebration of Cancer Survivorship. Cancer survivors will be invited to lead the Relay as guests in the first lap of honour and can later take part in a Candle ceremony. Survivors are the living proof of the progress and success of research and the reason why we should continue to support Cancer Research UK.
This year we can offer both offline and online registration for teams. For offline registration forms to register as a Team or join the Relay as a Survivor will be available at Accessory World on the 1st Floor ICC, by calling 56331000, 20077165 or electronically via email: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Packs will be sent directly from UK to all teams registering early – so register soon to ensure you get yours on time and you don’t miss out!
Volunteers will also be required to help out on the day and in the run up to the event, so anyone wanting to assist is encouraged to contact us.
Further information will be released as the date draws nearer, and can be obtained via email, by contacting Nicky Vinales on Tel. 200 71819 or mobile 56331000, or via the event’s Facebook group page ‘Relay For Life Gibraltar’.
