One of the biggest fundraisers for cancer support, Relay For Life is finally coming to the UAE in association with Friends of Cancer Patient (FOCP). 

The 24-hour event originated in 1985 in the United States, and has since grown to raise more than USD$5 billion. 

The event lasts over 24 hours and participants walk or run around a track for the entire time – passing a baton to their teammates. 

Lanterns will be lit to inspire hope for cancer sufferers.
