What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is an overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
Relay For Life represents the 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.

Facts About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer kills over 160,000 people in the United States each year–more people than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. It is responsible for over a quarter of all cancer-related deaths in the U.S. each year. Despite claiming more lives than any other cancer, lung cancer receives comparatively little research funding. Approximately $1,708 per lung cancer death was spent in 2005 on research as compared to:
- $13,947 for breast cancer
- $10,214 for prostate
- $4,655 for colorectal
In addition to the NCI, the Department of Defense also funds research for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers, among other diseases, but it does not fund research into lung cancer, this country’s primary cancer killer.
A quote from a woman with lung cancer:
"Through my experiences, I've found that there is little sympathy for lung cancer patients, which in turn is reflected in the amount of funding available for research. I have certainly been surprise and sometimes hurt by people's reactions to the disease, as if it was somehow my fault that I became sick. People do not understand that you don't have to be a smoker to develop lung cancer or that it is the leading cause of cancer deaths."
