Fifth relay is planned

A fifth Peninsula Relay for Life has been planned for next March to help raise money for The Cancer Council.

The event will run from 4pm on March 14 to 10am on March 15, at Woy Woy Oval.

"It's on again and we want you to be a part of this motivating community fundraiser for the Cancer Council NSW," chair for Peninsula Relay for Life Ms Viv Corcoran said.

"Relay for Life is an overnight teams event, where participants take it in turns to walk, skip or run their way around an oval, having fun, meeting other members of their community and raising funds to defeat cancer.

"We are also looking for community-minded people with a passion for making things happen to help with organising and running this event.

"No event experience is necessary - all you need is good connections to the community, ability to connect with and motivate others, good time management skills and a passion for getting involved.

"It's a great way to meet new people who share your love of the local community and to make a real difference to those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

"It's a great teambuilding and fun event."

Money raised from the event has funded ground-breaking research, patient and carer support and cancer prevention programs that benefit every community in the state, said Ms Corcoran.
