The people of Kilkenny are being urged to come together for an extraordinary event, Relay for Life, at the Kilkenny Rugby Club on July 6 and 7.
Beginning at 1pm, this weekend promises to be filled with inspiration, camaraderie, and support as we unite to fight cancer. Lisa O’Rourke, the Kilkenny Rose, will be ambassador for the event.
The event kicks off at 1pm, and one of the highlights will be the Survivors Lap, where cancer survivors take the first lap around the track, embodying the spirit of hope and determination. Witness their triumph and be inspired by their stories of resilience.
Key moments not to be missed include the Opening Ceremony at 1pm on June 6, which will set the stage for a memorable weekend. As night falls on Saturday, prepare to be moved by the Candle of Hope Ceremony at 10pm. This poignant tribute honours those who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and symbolises the unwavering commitment to finding a cure.

Throughout the event, 15 dedicated teams who have been busy fundraising will be on hand with their creative fundraisers and activities. It’s an excellent opportunity to connect with others, share stories, and support a cause.
Relay for Life is not only a powerful fundraiser but also a symbol of unity and compassion. By attending, you can make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families, offering them hope and support.
