News / Relay for LIfe 2014
SHETLAND’S biggest fund raising event Relay for Life raising cash for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is to take place on 31 May next year.
Teams can register for the all night gathering at Clickimin’s running track from Friday 4 October on the CRUK website. Flyers will be handed out at Tesco that evening from 5 to 8pm and from 10am to 4pm on Saturday.
Last year the Shetland Relay for Life raised an extraordinary £275,370 for the charity, earning the local event CRUK’s Flame of Hope award for fundraising.
Anyone seeking more information or willing to volunteer can contact the chairwoman Kerry Eunson on 07825 182494 or kerry.a.eunson@btinternet.com or go to CRUK Relay for Life Shetland on Facebook.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
