A spokesman for Cancer Research UK said: “The relay at Sewerby is a community event and children are most welcome. There will be entertainment, food stalls, and plenty of support along the way for participants.
“Relay For Life celebrates the power of community fundraising in the fight to beat cancer.
“Teams of family and friends fundraise for life-saving research then unite as a community to celebrate and remember everyone who has been affected by cancer.

“One in in two people will get cancer in their lifetime. Your fundraising will make a difference and together we will still beat cancer.”
