EAST MARLBOROUGH — The Kennett-Unionville Relay for life will start at 6 PM Friday evening, June 5 at the Unionville High School track. This event is targeted to raise over $45,000 for the American Cancer Society to support groundbreaking research and patient needs. So far over 250 people on 29 teams are signed up, and have raised over $30,000.
Activities planned in addition to walking or running on the track include having the Philadelphia Union soccer club lead games and exercises between 6 and 8 PM, recognition of cancer survivors at 7 PM, hula hoop and Zumba lessons at several different times, a luminaria ceremony to remember those who have lost their fight against cancer at 9 PM, kids field games, music, movies and more.
Everyone in the community is invited to participate, whether you belong to a team or want to come out on your own. “Everyone in our community has been effected by cancer through the illness of a family member, friend or their own affliction, so everyone can participate and help us find a cure”, said Adam Guyer, chairman of the event organizing committee.
