RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT THIS WEEKEND IN OREM -- Orem and Provo residents will participate in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life this weekend at Orem Junior High School, 765 N. 600 West.

The Relay is an overnight event designed to celebrate cancer survivors and to raise money for research and support programs. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.

Teams have been raising money for the last 6-8 months and will meet together on Friday evening, starting with a survivor's reception at 5:30 p.m. All cancer survivors, those currently battling cancer, and their families are invited to attend.

At 6:30 p.m. the actual relay starts, with the first lap being walked by the cancer survivors. After that each team keeps a member on the track at all time throughout the night.

There will be games and activities for all ages. At 9:30 p.m. there will be a luminaria ceremony to remember those who have lost the fight to cancer. The event will culminate with a closing ceremony that will be at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

The money generated by the teams and by fundraising at the actual event goes to fund cancer research and to run local programs like "Look Good, Feel Better" for women going through chemotherapy treatments, "Road to Recovery" where volunteers drive cancer patients to their appointments, the 1-800-ACS-2345 number that can be called for cancer information at any time, the "Man to Man" support group for men with prostate cancer as well as numerous support groups for both the cancer patient and their families.
