Cancer Council NSW is a community-funded, community-focused cancer charity dedicated to working towards a cancer-free future. There are things that we can all do every day to help make this happen. Cancer Council NSW’s Relay For Life (RFL) is a wonderful event where everyone in the community can unite in the vision of a cancer free future. It is a day filled with fun, festivities and strengthening and creating friendships. When you become a member of the RFL Committee, you take on great responsibility. Together with fellow committee members and your Cancer Council Staff Partner you are producing an event that can have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of people in your community and throughout the country. By helping people to raise money and cancer awareness you, and everyone involved in RFL, are contributing towards a cancer free future.
