Relay For Life is an organization that helps to raise more for the American Cancer Society. The events usually consist of camping out at schools, sports fields, and other popular areas. The event consists of different teams, each raising their own money. Each team must have one member walking the track at a time. The walking on the track symbolizes hope for those with cancer, and for those lost to it, that idea that they will never be forgotten. It is a truly amazing event to be able to partake in, knowing you have done something good.
Coming up in four days, is the Jacksonville Carbondale Relay For Life. It will be held at Carbondale High School. Various teams from SIUC have raised over $1,000.00 for the event. This event would be so inspirational for anyone battling cancer, dealing with a loved one who is going through a sickness, or for anyone who has lost someone to cancer, it is a time to remember and let others help you cope.
For anyone interested in attending there is little time left to sign up. www.relayforlife.org has more information
