The Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.  Teams come together to build community spirit, to honor loved ones and fight cancer – and have fun in the process.

 

Relay for Life 2007 of South County Hunterdon 

 

 

Friday June 1st through Saturday June 2nd

 

Hunterdon County 4-H Agricultural Fairgrounds
Route 179, Ringoes, NJ

 

 

In May 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon and avid runner, took the first step of his 24-hour walk/run around a track in Tacoma, Washington. He clocked 83 miles, raising $27,000 to support the American Cancer Society. The following year, 220 supporters on 19 teams joined Dr. Klatt in this overnight event, and the American Cancer Society Relay For Life was born.   Over the last 22 years, Relay For Life has spread to over 3,800 communities in the United States and eight foreign countries. What began as one man’s statement in the fight against cancer has led to the development of a worldwide event to help banish cancer.
