The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Weston-Wayland is just around the corner. Register your team online at www.WestonWaylandRelay.org or by calling the American Cancer Society at 781-314-2608. This “celebration of life” brings the Weston and Wayland communities together in a unified effort to fight cancer.

Former and current cancer patients, those who have lost a loved one to cancer, families, businesses, civic organizations, and the public are invited to take part in this exciting team event. Relay For Life takes place on May 30 at 6 p.m. until May 31 at 9 a.m. at Weston High School.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a family-oriented event where participants enjoy the camaraderie of a team and also raise funds to help eliminate cancer. Participants will camp out at the Weston High track, and when they are not taking their turn walking, they take part in fun activities and enjoy local entertainment. The event helps communities celebrate those who have faced cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease.

Teams from companies, churches, organizations, hospitals, and schools collect donations and can win individual and team prizes for their efforts.

“Relay For Life brings the progress against cancer to the forefront,” said Dorie Lustig, event co-chair. “Many participants are our family, friends, and neighbors who have dealt with cancer themselves. Their involvement is proof of the progress that has been not only reducing death rates, but also in the quality of life following cancer treatment.

“The funds raised enable us to continue our investment in the fight against cancer through research, education, advocacy, and patient services,” said Lustig. “Thanks to the generosity of corporate sponsors like Camp Sewataro of Sudbury and the Middlesex Savings Bank, the money raised by participants goes directly to the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving programs.”

Information about how to form a team or become involved in Relay For Life is available from the American Cancer Society at 781-314-2608 or online at www.RelayForLife.org.
