The annual 24-hour Cancer Council fundraiser will be north of the Border this weekend, with at least 1500 participants pounding the track for a common cause. Live music and dancing, the kids zone, high tea, Miss Relay pageant and numerous competitions throughout the day add to the entertainment. Saturday's Hope Ceremony from 7.45pm will particularly remember those who have fought and are still fighting cancer. Last year's relay, held at Wodonga's Birallee Park, raised $367,160.
