THE Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life Cancer Fundraiser was held over the weekend with the teams taking to the athletic track at Casey Fields.
Cancer for Life Community Liason for Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life, Anthony Erdely, said it was a great weekend and everyone had a great time.
“It was an incredible two days,” he said.
“Our committee was amazing during the lead-up to the event and given the weather, the way they supported each other was incredible.”
The Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life committee has a fundraising goal of $105,000, and while they are still counting and banking the donations from the relay, they are confident they will make their goal.
“We are still banking but we are already very close,” Mr Erdley said.
“Fingers are crossed but you never know.”
Roughly 350 people attended the Relay for Life at the athletics track and Mr Erdley said everyone really rallied around the cause.
“A lot of the activities held over the weekend were well represented, especially on Sunday morning, when the sun came out everyone really got around it and it was great way to finish a great two days.”
