This activity began in 1985 when an American doctor ran on an athletics track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Currently, it is held in approximately 2,460 locations in approximately 34 countries around the world. In Japan, since 2006, the Japan Cancer Society has received a license from ACS and has been holding “Relay for Life Japan” with local executive committees. Each executive committee engages in various charity activities throughout the year, and the relay event is the largest event that gathers patients, families, and supporters once a year. We form teams and take turns walking through the night to greet the morning. Official website:
http://relayforlife.jp/ Since its establishment in 1958, the organization has been working in the private sector for 65 years to conquer cancer and support cancer patients. “ With the hope that no one will grieve or suffer from cancer, we have created a program based on the three pillars of “promotion of cancer prevention and screening,” “support for cancer patients and their families,” and “awareness and dissemination of correct knowledge.” We are working on activities.
