Survivors are the reason we Relay.
We consider a survivor as anyone who has ever heard the words “You have cancer.” And we invite all cancer survivors in the community to attend Relay For Life.

Survivors are the guests of honor at Relay. Some Relay For Life events may offer survivors special T-shirts or sashes or hold a special reception for survivors and caregivers. Most Relays open with the Survivors Lap where survivors lead the way around the track while being honored and applauded by all participants. Being a part of the Survivors Lap allows survivors to celebrate what they’ve overcome while inspiring and motivating their community to fight. Survivors are proof that cancer can be defeated.

Please register as a survivor with the Relay For Life of The Villages of Hope by going to relayforlife.org/thevillagesfl or email Dorothy.Hardee@cancer.org for a Survivor registration form.
