Last year the event raised £26,000 for the charity.

This year’s event will take place at Ferry Meadows on July 2, starting at 2pm.

The Relay for Life sees a 24-hour relay where team members take it in turns to walk around a track.

A very poignant candle of hope ceremony will take place on the summer evening as darkness falls, where candles can be dedicated to those we have lost to cancer, mark those who are under treatment for cancer and celebrate the hope of those who have survived cancer. Survivors of cancer will be special guests of the event, and the 24 hour relay begins

with a lap of honour for the start of a very special 24 hours at Ferry Meadows Country Park.
