    Relay For Life!

    OM is humbled to be a part of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. This event represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

    Relay For Life offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

     No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay. To participate, form a team, or dedicate a luminaria at your local American Cancer Society Relay For Life, please call 1.800.227.2345 or visit cancer.org.

    Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:

    • Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
    • Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
    • Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.

     

     

    “At this moment, nothing is more important for healing the world than to link all those who believe that we must set forth a new narrative and create a new world where hope, social justice, peace and a sense of the sacredness of life prevail. For this, we need to form a critical mass of humanity that influences change at a global scale, to bring together the inner streams of sensitive human beings.”
