Relay For Life in Steinbach has received two awards.

Leadership Chair Marcie Friesen explains they received an award for their ten year anniversary and also for having the highest survivor to participant ratio in Manitoba.  Friesen adds last year there were 169 survivors who registered and after being involved for the last six years she still looks forward to the event every year.

"It's just amazing.  It's an amazing sight.  Anybody and everybody can come to this, you don't have to register a team.  Anybody can come to this and enjoy the entertainment.  Anybody and everybody can come and watch the survivors do their laps and join in walking for the cause.  The luminary ceremony is amazing.  It's dark and they light all the candles around the track in remembrance of others that have been gone and it's just a sight that you have to see."

Friesen notes Relay For Life will be taking place on May 29, 2015 and team kits are available during registration.
