At the end of February this year, we lost my beloved auntie to secondary breast cancer after a long, brave battle. She never complained, she just got on with it and tried to live life to the fullest. As a family, we've decided to take part in Yate Relay For Life again this year to raise money for cancer research, in her memory.

Caroline was a truly incredible person. Adored by everyone who knew her, an amazing mum, gran gran, sister and auntie. She is so missed by us all. We hope that her strength will inspire us and keep us going throughout this 24 hour event.

We would greatly appreciate your support and sponsorship to help us reach our target total. Thank you.

Relay For Life celebrates the power of community fundraising to make breakthroughs happen. Across the UK and the globe, teams of friends, families and colleagues fundraise for world-leading research to save and improve lives, then unite as a community at an event to honour everyone affected by cancer and celebrate the progress we’re making. How does the money you raise power progress?- £65 could buy special restriction enzymes. These act like molecular scissors to cut long strands of DNA, allowing our scientists to find out more about the genes that can cause cancer.- £220 could fund our team of nine cancer nurses for one hour. Our nurse helpline offers confidential support and guidance to people affected by cancer. When you fundraise for Relay For Life, you’re helping fund research and make discoveries. You’re helping bring about a world where everybody can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. Together we are beating cancer. Thank you for your support.
