Relay For Life Cancer Council

Cancer Council Tasmania is a charity working to minimise the incidence and impact of cancer on all Tasmanians.

On average, over nine Tasmanians are diagnosed with cancer each day - making our work in Tasmania vital to the health of the community.

Relay For Life brings communities together to celebrate cancer survivorship, remember loved ones lost and empower teams of families, friends and colleagues to raise money to fight back against cancer.

Everyone is invited to join Relay For Life and help create a cancer free future by joining forces and teaming up to raise funds in the lead up to their local Relay For Life event.

Each Relay event is organised by passionate, local volunteers, and is an experience that will stay with you forever. The event celebrates survivors and recognise the unsung heroes —their carers, honour those we’ve lost during our Candlelight Ceremony, and continue to raise funds to support people affected by cancer, fund research and prevention programs. Teams commit to walking, rolling or running around a track to signify that cancer never rests, so neither do we.
