Cancer Changes Everything. So Can You.

Relay is more than just a walk and more than just a fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society. Relay is a place where you can come and talk safely and openly about cancer and feel all the feelings that come with those conversations. We are creating a community at Relay that is united by cancer and all that it brings with it. Relay is different from other charity events. We come together as strangers and leave as friends who have made a difference in the fights against cancer. Whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track, passing the baton to your teammate or joining in exciting trackside activities, Relay For Life is more that just a cancer walk - it's a journey.

This presentation is a story-filled event for parents, caregivers and educators that outline practical strategies to help young people of all ages heal.
