Sorell steps up for a good cause

Hundreds of locals participated in the inaugural Sorell Relay For Life and raised more than $20,000 for Cancer Council Tasmania.

On Saturday 5 October more than 200 participants and 16 teams gathered at Pembroke Park to celebrate survivorship, remember those lost to cancer and take action in the fight against the disease.

The day was filled with novelty laps, delicious food and drinks, heartfelt ceremonies and lively entertainment.

All the money raised will stay in Tasmania and support people fighting cancer and The Cancer Council.

“These funds will support vital research, prevention programs and supportive care services for those affected by cancer across the state,” chairperson Joe Birch said.

“A huge thank you goes out to all our participants, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, vendors and service providers who made the day so special.

“A special acknowledgment to our dedicated organising committee for its tireless work in bringing this event to life.

“This is just the beginning, Sorell Relay For Life will return in 2025 bigger and better, so stay tuned for more details as we continue this important journey together.”
