The 10th annual Relais Pour la Vie took place this week-end at d'Coque in Luxembourg-Kirchberg with the formal start at 18:30.

Luxembourg's Minister for Health, Lydia Mutsch, and others were there to encourage the participants of both the 12-hour and 24-hour relays, whose particants were raising money for cancer research, with cancer survivors decked in purple t-shirts, many with family beside them, applauded during their ceremonial lap of hour prior to the participating teams taking to the track.

Each team needs to ensure that one walker / jogger remains on the track at all times, with clubs, associations, schools and companies all participating in this annual event.
