What is Relay for Life? Relay for Life began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt ran for 24 hours around a track to raise funds for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Over the past 40 years, Relay has grown into a global movement, uniting communities in the fight against cancer. It is more than a fundraiser—it’s a symbol of hope, remembrance, and determination.At Relay for Life, we come together to:
  • Celebrate cancer survivors
  • Remember those we have lost
  • Fight back to create a future without cancer
We ask each participant: Why do you Relay? For me, cancer is deeply personal. I have experienced the seven stages of grief, not only through family history but in caring for a loved one battling this disease. I lost my father to cancer three years ago. Despite impossible odds, he fought bravely for one year and nine days, exceeding expectations. Ultimately, it wasn’t the cancer that took him, but the side effects of treatment and the fear of losing his hard-fought battle.

Relay for a cure—so that no family has to endure this pain, so that we can find better treatments, and so that no cancer patient ever feels alone. Relay for Life is a village, and a village takes care of its own.

Will you join us in the fight against cancer?

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. For more information I can be reached phone: (301) 247 4343 or by email: asonon@ccboe.com

Best regards,
Anneliese Sonon
