DAY 3
When the sun goes down at every American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, hope shines the brightest. During the event’s powerful Luminaria Ceremony, hundreds of luminaria light the track or path to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has taken too much. This ceremony of light symbolizes the hope and perseverance with which we all continue to fight. You can keep the flame of hope lit by dedicating a luminaria in memory of a loved one you’ve lost to cancer or in honor of someone still fighting or who has beaten the disease. You also have the option to make a luminaria purchase in support of someone, either as a symbol of encouragement as they battle cancer or to recognize their participation in Relay For Life events. To recognize someone who has provided support to a cancer survivor during their cancer journey, purchase a Caregiver Heart luminaria to express your appreciation. Did you know you can purchase a luminaria from your events website. Who will you honor this year with a luminaria bag? Post here in comments
