Newark Academy Relay for Life Team’s Success

“Although the event was moved indoors because of inclement weather, my fellow teammates did an awesome job and really rebounded and reacted well, making the most of what we did have at our use and improvising when necessary,” Kiran Damodaran ’17 said.

 

At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. Relay teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Relay events are up to 24 hours in length and, because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
