Founded in the USA, the Relay for Life events have been operating since 1985 and aims to raise funds for and create an awareness of cancer. The event also celebrates survivors of cancer, shows support to those affected by cancer and remembers those loved ones that have been lost. The fundraising events have been running in Australia since 1999 with all proceeds being donated to Cancer Council to fund vital research, prevention, and support programs.
