Relay for Life
Relay for Life is an international event held in more than 33 countries. It was initiated by the American Cancer Society. In Zambia, the Zambian Cancer Society is the only licensed organisation to host Relay for Life. This volunteer-led experience unites communities to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back to raise funds to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy and patient support. This hike is a fundraising opportunity for us to raise funds in readiness for Kids Fun Day at the Children’s Cancer Ward.
The event will be held at the scenic Nkwashi Estate. Our partners, Mwaba Mwila Adventures, are known for offering the best hiking experiences, so come join us! Don’t miss the fun!
