Just Over A Week To Go...


In just over a week, the people of Stockport will come together at Relay For Life.

We'll walk around the track on the field at Kingsway School for 24 hours to help beat cancer sooner.

Teams of between 5 and 25 people, of ages and physical ability, get together to walk in turn so that someone from their team will be on track at all times.

Whilst they're walking, they'll be entertained by live music and fun from the stage, games and activities out in the field - the whole of Saturday afternoon is a giant family fun day experience.

The opening lap of the Relay is walked by an inspirational group of Cancer survivors.

At 10pm, as night falls, we hold our wonderful Candle Of Hope ceremony.  Bags around the track are lit, each one beautifully decorated to commemorate someone lost to cancer.

Every single penny taken at Relay For Life Stockport goes to Cancer Research UK in their battle against cancer.
