<\/p>\nRelay For Life is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for the Cancer Council\u2019s research, prevention and support services. <\/p>\n
Relay is a chance for the community to recognise and celebrate local cancer survivors, those going through a cancer experience and their carers, to honour and remember loved ones lost and to raise money to help save more lives.<\/p>\n
The Relay, which started in the USA in 1985, and in Australia in 1999, is now a world wide event that raises funds to support research by the Cancer Council.<\/p>\n
After a three-year break due to COVID restrictions, Manningham Council plus a team of volunteers ran the 2022 Relay for Life at Rieschiecks Reserve on the 10th September.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once again, the Doncaster Tai Chi group volunteered to run a Qigong and Tai Chi session for the benefit of both participants and spectators. The one-hour long session was run by Instructors Christina Koh and Bruce Ellis, with strong support from May Chin Lee, Maylin Lee, and Barbara Koh.<\/p>\n
Overall numbers were down a bit from the last time the Relay was run, but still managed to raise about $30,000. However, interest in Qigong and Tai Chi was the best we have seen in the years that we have been participating.<\/p>\n
It is always very satisfying to give a little back to the community.<\/p>\n
