One Of The Most Monumental Fundraisers For Cancer Is Coming To The UAE For The First Time Ever

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. 

It will be happening at the American University of Sharjah on November 17 (until November 18) and you can read all about it here.
