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).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 24-hour event originated in 1985 in the United States, and has since grown to raise more than USD$5 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The event lasts over 24 hours and participants walk or run around a track for the entire time – passing a baton to their teammates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lanterns will be lit to inspire hope for cancer sufferers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It will be happening at the American University of Sharjah on November 17 (until November 18) and you can read all about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n
