The annual Relay for Life event in Trussville will be Saturday, May 16 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at The Mall in downtown Trussville.
Relay for Life is an event that raises funds to fight cancer and a chance to honor cancer survivors and remember loved ones lost. Special moments during a typical Relay for Life event include a luminaria ceremony, a fight back ceremony and a survivors lap. Relay for Life began in 1985 with one man who walked and ran around a track for 24 hours and raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society.
