Relay for Life On 10 October 2015, Fremantle will be hosting their second Relay for Life event at East Fremantle ATOM Stadium. This year we have made a huge goal to donate $100,000 to the Cancer Council and we need your help to get us there!

Cancer doesn’t sleep, so why should we? Help us fight cancer and give back to our beautiful Fremantle community. Go to our Fremantle Relay for Life website to sign up a team.
