Relay For Life 2024
Cancer is a word that everyone fears
That reduces most of us to our very own tears
A word that often offers very little hope
That just leaves us wondering how will we cope?
But there are people out there who fight our cause
Who work on tirelessly to try and find a pause
They hope that one day to find a cure
That will help make our lives again so pure
Those candles of light that burn so bright
Those memory bags that light up the night
They mean so much on our relay day
A means of expressing what we want to say
The money we all raise can do so much
To finance research that acts like a crutch
That opens new doors to the disease we all fear
Finding life saving treatments year after year
In such a small time new medicines are found
More patients are now saved in leaps and bounds
The money we have raised has meant such a lot
That's why we continue to put more in the pot
This year half a million is well in our sight
That's why we press on to work harder and fight
It's because of the loved ones who survived or were lost
They are immensely important no matter the cost
So we will continue each year to always fight on
To provide special funds until each strain is gone
The achievements so far has meant so much to so many
So the money we've raised has been worth every penny
So the look for the future is to keep strong and fight
All the survivors we saved have all seen a new light
So now encourage new members to come and join our teams
As we continue forward to fulfil all of our dreams
Our achievements so far are praised so loud
That's why our relay team stands out in the crowd
Throughout the year we raise all we can
So we reach out to new members to help with our plan
Our children and friends who have decided to join us
Now work so hard and all contribute with no fuss
At our regular bucket collections they always impress
By being "GOBBY" the dragon in their red fancy dress
Lets hope this years Relay breaks records galore
With the efforts of all we can give nothing more
So thanks everyone it's another year done
OUR 2024 RELAY IS A RACE THAT’S WELL WON!!!
