Welcome Relay For Life Supporters. Join us and help raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK Welcome to Relay for Life Shrewsbury!

This is the second year we have organised this amazing event and each year we get bigger and better - 2010 will be no exception!

Want to do something with your friends and family?

Want to raise money to support the life saving work of Cancer Research UK?

Look no further! Relay For Life is for you!

The first Relay was held in Oakengates in 2007. Since then, our fantastic community has raised over £60,000 for Cancer Research UK. The event is organised and run by volunteers - all of whom want to raise as much money as possible to beat cancer forever, whilst delivering a fun and life-changing event for an amazing community.
What is Relay Relay For Life is a unique fundraising event. It gives your community the chance to celebrate the lives of those touched by cancer and to raise money to bring hope for the future.
Fundraising before the day As soon as you have registered we will invite you to monthly Team Captains meetings and send you a monthly newsletter with lots of information and ideas about how you can raise funds as a team. You will also be able to meet the committee and other Teams so that by the Relay weekend you will feel like a huge group of friends coming together for this memorable 22 hours.
