GLT Datebook: Relay For Life Fights Cancer

Relay for Life Mclean County
There's ample camaraderie at Relay for Life.

Survivors, caregivers and everyone else who wants to kick cancer to the curb are gathering at NCHS for a 24-hour celebration of life that takes a stand against a terrible disease.

  • The event is Friday, June 23 beginning at 4 PM and continues until 4 PM, Saturday, June 24th.
  • You don't have to register in advance for the Relay -- you can just show up to participate.
  • Folks mostly participate in teams, but event that isn't necessary.  You can join in as a single participant.
  • There's ample activities for kids in the Youth Zone, including bouncy houses and an obstacle course and a rock wall.
  • There's live music almost around the clock, and a chance to perform yourself in a Relay's Got Talent contest.
  • A wellness fair and a car show are also part of the event.
  • You can find more information about Relay For Life here.  Or stop by the Facebook page.
