Teams walk on the track at Saddleback College.  They are committed to creating awareness and raising money in the fight against cancer.  Join in the party atmosphere!  Teams pitch tents, camp-out, eat, feast, share in games and entertainment.

Because Relay is a team event, individuals aren’t required to be there the entire time. However, it’s so much fun you will get caught up in the party atmosphere and want to stay.  The day is packed with entertainment- bands, Kids zone, onsite fundraisers, fight back messages, etc.

You don’t need to be a runner or even a walker to participate.   The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking, running or rolling around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.

Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer.  It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer.  This is a great, free family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the many generous sponsors and volunteers.

 For more information or to register for the event go to www.mvrelay.org or call the American Cancer Society at 949/567-0625.  If you have any questions regarding our endeavors, please call Margot Ferron at 949/309-1235, gomargotgo@aol.com
