National Cancer Society of Malaysia, Relay For Life

National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) will be organizing their inaugural RELAY FOR LIFE Kuala Lumpur 2007 to raise funds.

I have been invited to be a volunteer for this grand happening, which will be held from 2-3 June 2007 at the MSN Training Stadium Bukit Jalil. During the same time other countries over the world too will be hosting this event. I did not know what this event until I volunteered. Relay for Life is a fund raising overnight team event in a carnival like atmosphere.

I just received all relevant leaflets and forms. I would have to disseminate this information among friends and acquaintances. And hope to raise some funds too…ha…ha!

This is really going to an exciting occasion because we would have to participate from 2 (6pm)-3(10am) June i.e spending a night over at the Stadium. I usually cannot keep awake by 10.30pm…he!….he!…this is going to interesting.

Relay For Life will start with a Survivors Lap where cancer survivors will proudly make the first lap around the track to celebrate their triumph against cancer. The finale will be the Luminaria Ceremony where candles will be place around the track as a tribute to survivors or in memory of loved ones.

People will all walks of life will make this a day to remember filled with memories, for some of battles won, for some of loved ones lost and for all to cherish life with laughter and joy!
