Fondation Cancer has announced that registrations are now open for this year's Relais pour la Vie, taking place in a virtual format on 26 and 27 March 2022.
In the current health context, the 17th edition of Relais pour la Vie, a major event of solidarity with cancer patients in Luxembourg, will focus on the message "together and connected".
Registered teams will walk, run or cycle at the time they wish and at the place of their choice (in the woods, neighbourhood, workplace or school), accumulating a total of 24 hours over the Relais pour la Vie weekend. Their common goal is to show their solidarity with cancer patients.
The number of teams and the number of participants per team is unlimited. The registration fee is €15 per person. The captain of a team has the option of registering all of his / her team members and paying the full registration fee or inviting members to pay the registration fee themselves.
Teams will fall into six categories: businesses, schools, supporters, country, association and healthcare profession. Once registered, each team will create their own fundraising page. The team that collects the most donations in its category will win the "Trophée de l'Espoir".
Lucienne Thommes, Director of Fondation Cancer, emphasised: "Our strongest wish was to bring the public together again in order to offer a moment of solidarity and sharing by carrying out the Relay for Life in person. This year, the health context is once again forcing us to give up a face-to-face Relay for Life. But our support for patients and their loved ones remains essential. Together & Connected, let's continue to spread hope".
Registrations are now open on www.relaispourlavie.lu.
