Ready for relay

NEXT year’s Greater Dandenong Relay for Life is in the planning stages, with a date selected and registrations open.
Relay for Life volunteer Jodi DeStratis said planning was underway for the event, set to be held on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May next year.
“The organising committee have started plans for 2012 and currently there are a number of vacancies on the committee,” Ms DeStratis said.
“All local residents are invited to be part of this special event and join the organising committee.
“It is a real opportunity to shape not only the 2012 event, but also the future of Relay for Life in Greater Dandenong.”
Registrations have also opened for participants to sign up teams for the event, which raises funds for the Cancer Council Victoria.
Last year 35 teams participated in the Greater Dandenong Relay for Life, including nine cancer survivors and 43 carers.
More than $67,000 was raised for the cause.
