The town of Rainy River is planning to host a Relay for Life event this summer to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Co-chair Andrew Hartnell says the 12-hour relay will be held June 11 at the Rainy River High School.
"Last year during our Railroad Days we had our Cuts for Cancer fundraiser," says Hartnell. "Margaret Saville in Dryden (of the Canadian Cancer Society) contact me and said that since we did such a good job on Cuts for Cancer she felt it would be a good idea for us to do a relay."
Hartnell says seven teams have already registered and organizers are hoping for at least ten.
Team can register on-line at http://convio.cancer.ca/site/PageServer?pagename=RFL_CAN_home_accueil&s_locale=en_CA or by calling Hartnell at the Rainy River Municipal office.
