 DCU Cancer Society held its second Relay for Life event last Thursday and Friday, the 10th and 11th of March. Teams of students walked around the Relay zone to raise awareness and money for the Irish Cancer Society. Vice Chairperson of DCU Cancer Sock, Megan Rontree, said organising the event was no walk in the park. I suppose there's no point lying, it was really stressful but a lot of societies were really good in offering to help out so we have some amazing support from music, sock and drama, sock and come on goelach and Harry Potter and so even though it was stressful to organise maybe the kind of technical side of it, you know the marquee, the generator, the speakers all that, we got loads of support from students so it was a bit of both. DCU student Aiden Delaney took part in the event and encouraged everyone to get involved. I think it's a really good cause, it's an interesting idea just walking around for 24 hours, I mean everybody can walk so I think it's something everybody should get involved in. Everybody's been touched with cancer and it's such an awful disease and when you can do something so simple to make such a contribution to help fighting it I mean I think everybody should get involved. As the sunny day turned to a chilly night, people walked and danced all through the 24 hours. Various DCU societies took part in the event and provided entertainment and support. A candle of hope ceremony took place at 7pm where candles were lit in remembrance of those who are living with cancer and those who passed away. Avindiver DCU TV News
