night walk cancer
What is the reason people stay up and walk all night in the Relay for Life cancer walk?
There is a saying that is read at the Relay. that is what i am looking for
it is a saying that has something to do with by the time it is over you are supposed to feel as tired as a cancer patient after their last treatment.
For many people who attend Relay For Life®, one of the most moving parts of the event is the Ceremony of Hope. As the light dims over campsites and team members complete laps, the night is brightened by the glow of lighted bags called luminaria, each of which has a special meaning. Some luminaria celebrate the survivorship of people who have battled cancer and lived to tell the tale. Many commemorate the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent a person who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to be touched by that experience.
I have been a team captain at many Relays and “the saying” that I hear most often and use myself is “cancer never sleeps so for one night neither will we” I hope this info helps you, if you have any questions about Relay feel free to email me. I have tons of resources.
