Relay For Life starts at dusk and ends with the next day’s light. The light and darkness of the day and night parallel the physical effects, emotions and mental state of a cancer patient

while undergoing treatment.The Relay begins when the sun is setting. This symbol-

izes the time that the person has been diagnosed as hav-ing cancer. The day is getting darker and this represents the cancer patient’s state of mind as they feel their life is coming to an end.

As the evening goes on it gets colder and darker, just as the emotions of the cancer patient do. 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. represents the time when cancer patients start treat-ments. They become exhausted, some sick, not wanting to go on, possibly wanting to give up. As a participant, you have been walking and feel much the same way. You are tired, want to sleep, maybe even want to go home, but you cannot. You cannot stop or give up, just as the cancer patient cannot stop or give up.

4 a.m. to 5 a.m. symbolizes the coming of the end of treatment for the cancer patient. Once again they are tired, but they know they will make it.

The sun rising represents the end of treatment for the cancer patient. They see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that life will go on. The morning light brings on a new day full of life and excitement for new begin-nings for the cancer patient. As a participant, you will feel the brightness of the morning and know that the end of the Relay is close at hand.

When you leave the Relay, think of the cancer patient leaving their last treatment. Just as you are exhausted and weak, so is that person after treatment. But there is hope in the new day. The money raised at Relay will sup-port patient services, lifesaving research, prevention edu-cation, and advocacy efforts…and that is why we Relay.

Why Relay at night?
