Renfrew County Community Office

Thank you to all captains, participants, supporters and donors in our 2013 Renfrew County and Barry's Bay Relay For Life events.  The dollars you raised will help fund life saving research and crucial local programs like our Volunteer Transportation Service.  There are more than 200 types of cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society fights all of them.  Thank you for being a part of that!    During the Relay season we have been asking our supporters the question, "Why do you Relay?"   Here is a great response:  "I Relay for the Canadian Cancer Society to say thank you for all the support they gave me through my cancer.  I Relay for my grandchildren, so they will never have to fight that battle."  Kathy Wyatt, Honorary Survivor, Relay For Life in Renfrew County  Read all about the fun, excitement and success in the fight against cancer at this year's Relay in our Renfrew County Relay Rap newsletter.
