Chelmsford - Relay for Life

Add News

RFL BannerRelay For Life is a unique and inspirational community-led event, organised by a group of volunteers, that celebrates those who survive cancer and pays tribute to those who are touched by it. It brings together communities, Survivors and those who have been touched by cancer to celebrate life and help raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Relay For Life can involve many things – a walking event, a party, a concert, a big day out. But most of all, it brings local communities together to help beat cancer. Local teams of friends, family, neighbours and colleagues fundraise within their local communities throughout the year, raising all they can for the life-saving work of Cancer Research UK . Then get together for a great overnight event of celebration and commemoration that everyone in the community can join in.



RFL Survivors LapAt the event people gather at their local race track, park or sports field and take turns walking laps. Each team tries to keep at least one member on the track at all times, whilst all around them a party is in full swing. The teams, their supporters and visitors from the local community create a carnival atmosphere.

Every Relay For Life lasts 12 to 24 hours, runs overnight and includes a Survivors' Lap of Honour and a moving Candle of Hope Ceremony.

Chelmsford Relay For Life is taking place on the 28th August (from 12pm for 24 hours) at New Hall School.

We are hoping to have 20 teams participating at this event and aim to raise in excess of £20,000!
