Calling All Volunteers: Support the 1st Relay For Life Turkey

Pembe Hanim, a local NGO focused on providing support for cancer patients and their loved ones, has partnered up with the American Cancer Society to bring the first ever Relay For Life to Turkey. The relay organizers are currently seeking support in the form of volunteers from the international community. If interested in participating in this noble endeavor and becoming part of a team dynamic, contact organizer Seda Kansu.

What is Relay for Life?

At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!

Relay For Life teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
