Cancer Council Tasmania is a charity working to minimise the incidence and impact of cancer on all Tasmanians through advocacy, raising awareness of cancer prevention and offering support and information for anyone affected by the disease. Please read how we help Tasmanians impacted by cancer.
Cancer Council Tasmania is a registered charity organisation with the Commonwealth Government’s ‘Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.’
Cancer Council Tasmania no longer has an association with Mr Les Gittus and his proposed charity ride around Tasmania. Cancer Council Tasmania has revoked Mr. Gittus’s community fundraising event.
Relay For Life
Relay For Life is not just an event, it’s an experience that leaves last memories. ‘Relay’ is a 20-hour overnight event that participants of all ages can contribute (as a team) to walk and Celebrate journeys won, to walk and Remember loved ones or to walk and support & Fight Back against cancer through fundraising. It is these 3 aspects of ‘Relay’ that connect community together to share a common interest on one weekend every year.
Since 2001, 103,000 Tasmanians have participated in 82 events raising over $14.7million.
