Become a Relay Committee Chair
Dedicated Cancer Research UK supporters – just like you – organise Relay For Life events in their local areas. Become a Relay Chair and you'll be uniting your community in the fight against cancer.
Relay Chairs manage, support and inspire their committee to do the very best job they can. It's a challenging but rewarding experience.
"Relay For Life isn't just about raising money. It's also about friendship. It's about giving people hope – something money cannot buy."
