Relay For Life calling for new volunteers

CAN YOU HELP?

The chairman of the LancefieldMacedon Ranges Relay for Life, Ken Wiltshire, has thanked all those who contributed to the success of the Relay in March, which raised over $54,000 for Cancer Council Victoria. And is asking for help.

Since the Relay started at Lancefield 21 years ago, said Ken, the event had raised over $1.7m, a colossal achievement of which all the teams and those who have supported the event should be immensely proud.

“The next Relay is in March 2024. Three of our valued committee members have indicated they are standing down this year. Their many years of service are much appreciated.

to support the Relay,” he continued.

However, to successfully continue the event the committee – now effectively only Ken and one other person –needs further assistance.

“We have particular needs in three areas,” he said.

“The first is for someone with appropriate skills to handle publicity and social media. The second is for someone to handle OHS [occupational heath and safety] and like issues. The third is for enthusiastic people with good local connections who can encourage and support new teams to join our Relay.
