Clarence Valley Relay For Life is one of the most important fundraising events on Cancer Council NSW calendar.
More than 61,000 Australian lives have been saved through improvements in cancer prevention, screening and treatment over the past 20 years. Thanks to these advancements, nearly seven out of ten Australians diagnosed with cancer today will survive more than five years past their diagnosis.
That is some achievement. To be able to maintain these improvements, is only brought about by the efforts and support of the community minded people of the Clarence Valley beavering away at raising these vital funds that give hope to all cancer patients and survivors.
