    My Volunteering

    Relay for Life Logo

    Memorial University

    Relay for Life

    At Relay For Life events, participants of all ages gather at a community space and take turns walking around a track or path to symbolize the perseverance and action needed to change the future of cancer.

    Relay for Life Group

    I relay for my Pop. Gerry Robert Russell was a fighter all his life. He lost both his parents by the time he was 5 then was constantly moving houses until he was 10. Later in life, he was in and out of hospital every couple months. From four hip replacements to winning many fights against cancer, he was always optimistic and kept a smile on his face. In August 2022, Gerry passed away but he will always be in our memories.

    Many other members of my family have had run-ins with cancer, some were able to fight it off, some were not. I hope that someday, we can put an end to this disease.

    Relay for Life is our opportunity to give back to the doctors and researches who put in their time to fight cancer.
