www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, May 31, 2013 | 16 Relay for Life goes tonight at Appleby College Local teams will take to the track tonight (Friday) to prove the fight against cancer is not a solitary battle. The Canadian Cancer Society's Oakville Relay for Life is a non-competitive, festival-like, 12-hour overnight fundraiser that unites cancer survivors and fighters, and their supporters in a decorated tent city at Appleby College every year. "Relay for Life symbolizes and honours a cancer patient's journey. For the thousands of Canadians fighting cancer right now, their journey is long and hard. From the shock of initial diagnosis, through days of treatment and the long nights that follow for them, cancer never sleeps, so neither do we," said Lisa Dale, fundraising co-ordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) Halton unit. Teams of 10-15 people take turns walking laps around a luminary-lit track, keeping at least one member on the track at all times. This year's event starts at 7 p.m. Friday and wraps up Saturday at 7 a.m. Those interested in participating or supporting the cause can contact www.relayforlife.ca/oakville or 905845-5231. Each relay event includes a survivor's victory lap, a fight-back ceremony and a luminary ceremony -- the latter is held at dusk to honour cancer survivors and remember loved ones who have lost their battles. This year, there will also be a driver's lap, honouring the countless volunteer drivers who make sure cancer patients make it to and from their appointments on time and safely. Luminaries light the track at the annual Oakville Relay for Life event being held on the grounds of Appleby College tonight.
