The Macedon Ranges Relay for Life event will return to Lancefield in March, with Cancer Council Victoria calling for community members to take part in the fundraising efforts.
Relay For Life is a fundraising walk and event aimed at celebrating cancer survivors, remembering loved ones, and raising money for research, prevention and support services.
Running from 11am–9pm at Lancefield Park Reserve on Saturday, March 1, community members can take part in the event by leading or joining a team or volunteering on the day.
According to a media release from Cancer Council Victoria, about 336 people are diagnosed with cancer in the Macedon Ranges region each year.
Lancefield Relay for Life committee member and former nurse Amanda Mullins said that the committee is searching for more members and volunteers to help organise the upcoming event.
“Relay for Life is a cause really dear to my heart, and I love the work Cancer Council Victoria does, so I’m really keen to encourage people to get involved and help,” she said.
“It just brings everyone together – the conversations you have when you’re walking around a track with someone you’ve just met are really special.
To join the Lancefield Relay for Life committee or to sign up as a volunteer, contact Grant White or visit the Relay for Life website.
