Relay team scouting for participants

MONEY means life for these fund-raising trailblazers at the Cranbourne-Narre Relay For Life.
Last year’s event raised more than $67,000 for research and prevention programs of Cancer Council Victoria, and the team hoped to hit $105,000 this year.
Committee member Brooke Walford said the local relay events had raised $302,376 in four years, but the team had a more imminent goal in sight.
“We’re currently looking for passionate residents to gather their friends to participate in the Cranbourne-Narre Relay For Life,” Ms Walford said.
“We’re also looking for local businesses to provide support through sponsorships or donations.”
The next relay will take place at the Casey Field’s Athletics Track over the weekend of Saturday 5 November from 4pm.
The Cranbourne-Narre Warren event will highlight special ceremonies, including an honorary lap for survivors and carers.
