2009 Relay for Life to be Launched

CANCER survivors from across Dumfries and Galloway are once again to lead an all-night festival of hope and remembrance in a united effort to fund research into the disease.

Cancer Research UK's Relay For Life brings together the whole community in one location for up to 24 hours to celebrate the strides being made to beat cancer.

As part of the event, teams of people from all sections of the community take turns to walk, run, skip or crawl around a track following an opening Lap of Honour by cancer patients and survivors.
