Cancer Survivors & Caregivers Rally To Support American Cancer Society in Altadena

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 9, 2013 - The American Cancer Society invites individuals who want to celebrate the lives of those who have faced cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease to join its Relay For Life, scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2013 in Altadena at Farnsworth Park.  Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, barbecue, dance, and take turns walking around a track relay style to raise funds to fight cancer.  At nightfall, participants will light hundreds of luminaria around the track in a moving ceremony to honor cancer survivors as well as friends and family members lost to the disease. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

On Friday, January 18, we will be kicking off Relay For Life of Altadena.  Anyone -- families, caregivers cancer survivors, schools, companies, etc., are invited to come help us kick off annual Relay For Life activities.  

This year Hero of Hope Jennifer Johnson will be sharing her journey.  We will be showing a video from Relay for Life of Altadena 2012.  In addition, we will be recognizing the 2012 Fundraising efforts.  Don’t miss our announcement of the Relay 2013 Theme.  Of course, there will be Birthday cake . . . to celebrate MORE BIRTHDAYS!
