To begin, go to RelayForLife.org and input your ZIP code to discover your local Relay event. To register, create your own team or join an existing one online (paper registration options are also available). Then, select a date and time that works with your schedule and click the "Start Registration" button. After registering, you will be taken to a page where you can choose how much you want to raise. You can choose any amount from $5,000 to $50,000. When you reach that amount, you will be given the option of sending that information in separate donations or as one large gift. If you choose to send multiple small donations, each item will be used to fund one day of research into cancer causes and treatments. Your registration will be sent to the national headquarters in Waukegan, Illinois, who will notify you by email when it's time to pick up your team packet. The packet contains all the information you'll need to get started, including: an overview of the disease; statistics on survival rates; instructions on how to prepare food for the walk; rules and regulations for conducting a successful event; and contact information for local hospitals and medical centers. As part of your packet delivery, you may be asked to attend a training session before your first relay.
