After a successful 2022, Melton Relay For Life is back again in September and Cancer Council Victoria is encouraging Melton locals to get involved in the much-loved event to celebrate cancer survivors, remember lost loved ones, to honour their carers, and to fight back against cancer.
An average of 551 people diagnosed with cancer in Melton each year and Relay For Life is a local fundraising event that empowers communities to come together to raise funds for Cancer Council Victoria’s cancer research, prevention, information, and support services.
During the event, teams will complete laps around a track or oval to signify that every day, Melton locals are making strides towards a cancer-free future.
There are several ways you can be part of Relay For Life, including becoming a team captain or joining a team, becoming a member of your local Relay For Life committee or volunteer at your local Relay For Life event.
Cancer Council Victoria Community Giving manager Renee Gani said Relay For Life events were a chance for the whole community to unite for a common cause.
“Relay For Life is such a beloved, unique event and allows people to make a difference in the communities,” she said.
“2022 showed us that our communities around Victoria are more resilient than ever and still love to be involved in Relay For Life.
“We can’t wait to see Melton locals come together once again for such a special day.”
The Melton Relay For Life will be held at Bridge Road Recreation Reserve, Strathulloh on September 9.
