Relay for Life is a chance for communities to recognise and celebrate those who have overcome cancer or are undergoing treatment, as well as the people who care for them. Relay for Life also provides an opportunity to celebrate the memory of loved ones lost to cancer.

On Saturday October 17th 2015 the Shepparton Rapid Relief Team were thrilled to be part of the annual Cancer Council Relay for Life event.

15 RRT Volunteers were at the Relay for Life Event All proceeds from the sale of RRT food were donated to the Cancer Council

15 Rapid Relief Team volunteers set up at Shepparton’s Princess Park to provide lunch and dinner to the teams and spectators participating in this annual event.

Approximately 300 participants raised over $48 000!

Relay for Life Organiser Katie Camilleri said “RRT did a fantastic job. Thank you again for all of your help.  You raised a total of $407.40, which is amazing, so thank you for supporting our Relay for Life event. We have well and truly passed our goal of $40,000, with just over $48,000 announced at the event and we are confident we’ll hit that $50k mark very shortly which is very exciting!”

Shepparton Rapid Relief Team is looking forward to helping raise funds for Cancer Council Australia by supporting the event again in 2016.
