One of central Alberta’s largest cancer research fundraisers is happening this weekend.

The Relay for Life goes from noon until midnight at CrossRoads Church on Saturday, June 9.

Chair Janet Dixie says organizers hope to raise $50,000.

“We’ve see such a dramatic percentage increase in cancer survivors in the last 20 and even 50 years,” she says. “The research is just so important and without it, we wouldnt see that increase.”
