Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) Relay For Life is part of an international movement that unites cancer survivors and the communities that care about them. It offers everyone in a community, both young and old, the opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer and to honour those who have been touched by cancer. It is an opportunity for SURVIVORS and their loved ones to fight against cancer together.

WHEN WAS THE 1ST CANSA RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT HELD?

One Person can make a difference: Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which began in Tacoma, Washington as the City of Destiny Classic 24 - Hour Run against cancer. In the mid 1980's, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office.
UNDERSTANDING THE CANCER JOURNEY

CANSA is a volunteer-driven organisation, dedicated to providing quality cancer services in South Africa and relies on the support of ordinary South Africans for much-needed funding to continue its vital work in all communities of South Africa. CANSA's challenge is to always achieve as much as possible with its limited resources in order to care for as many South Africans as possible.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A CANSA RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT?

The CANSA Relay For Life Corporate event is a fun-filled, overnight event that mobilises companies & businesses to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones and raise money for the fight against cancer. The event is a celebration of life and survival and a positive way to make a difference whilst remembering those who have been lost....
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE IN A CANSA RELAY FOR LIFE CORPORATE EVENT?

1. Are YOU a cancer survivor (have you heard the words, 'You have cancer')?
2. Do you know anybody who had/has cancer?
3. Are there any cancer survivors working at your company / business?

Cancer survivors and colleagues work together daily and may not even know that colleagues are cancer survivors...
CELEBRATING LIFE WITH SURVIVORS AND CAREGIVERS

Survivor Development is one of the components of Relay and involves the support, recognition, and involvement of survivors and caregivers at Relay For Life.

Support of survivors and caregivers is a VERY important part of the mission of CANSA and is at the heart of Relay For Life.
