| 29026 Laro Dr Agoura, California 91301 US Cost:FREE Description:Basically it is a 24-hour cancer walk where people form teams and raise money. The day of the event they set up camp and have at least one person from their team walking the track for the 24 hours (hence, RELAY) to show that we won’t stop in the fight against cancer. There is plenty of food, entertainment, and activities to keep a participant more than busy for the 24 hours. It is a great way for all members of a community to get together and show their support for each other, as everyone has been affected by this disease in some way. I’ll most likely be DJing during the afternoon on the same stage that I’ll be performing at come dusk. Stop by at ANY point and hang out with me. It’s likely the set will feature other members of the BM tribe Link for the actual website: http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeCaliforniaDivision?fr_id=4110&pg=entry |
