Harcourts Join Relay for Life

Next month, real estate offices, Harcourts Geelong and Harcourts North Geelong will join forces as “Team Harcourts” to participate in the Cancer Council’s annual Relay for Life charity event.

Team Harcourts will participate in the Geelong Relay for Life event on the 17^th of March and hope to raise at least $2,000 for cancer research.

Relay for Life is an incredible overnight event that is an opportunity for family, friends and colleagues to get together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against the disease.

It is a unique event where teams challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay-style walk or run overnight.

Relay for Life is now run in every state and territory in Australia and raises over $14 million each year to support the Cancer Council’s research, education and support programs.

Whilst fundraising is an important goal, Relay for Life is more than just that – it provides an opportunity for people to come together as a community to celebrate those who have survived cancer, and to honour those who have been lost to this terrible disease.

Brent Pullar, Chief Executive Officer of Harcourts Victoria, is proud of Team Harcourts’ efforts.

“This is such an incredibly worthy cause and it’s fantastic to see the teams from Harcourts Geelong and North Geelong participating in the event,” Mr Pullar said.

Each day the Cancer Council works hard to control cancer and reduce its impact on those we love. Today, thanks to advances in cancer research, more than 60 per cent of cancer patients will survive more than five years after diagnosis.
