“Relay for Life 2009 in Hiroshima ”( Part 1)
We are holding a“Relay for Life in Hiroshima in 2009” from 13:00 on 22rd to 13:00 on 23th September, one whole day (twenty-four hours), in the former Hiroshima citizens baseball stadium. What is “Relay for Life”? The reason for this is to symbolize that cancer cells are always on the move, but can be overcome through vigilance. The Japan Cancer Society, JCS, plays the role of coordinator and co-sponsor of the “Relay for Life” project in Japan under a licensing arrangement with the American Cancer Society. Following a trial in 2006, a "Relay for Life" gathering was held in Tokyo and at another site in 2007, bringing together about 5,000 participants in total. In 2008, JCS expects that more than 10,000 people will likely take part in these gatherings to be held at six sites across the nation from Hokkaido to Kyushu. http://www.jcancer.jp/english/ We are organized by the executive committee for the purpose of supporting the Survivors Relay for Life 2009 in Hiroshima.
