18th July 2008: Carry on Walking, local people celebrate and remember
Last weekend ten teams each of around 10 people ensured that at least one team member was walking during the 24 hours of the Sheffield's Relay for Life held at Sheffield's Manor Lodge Heritage site last week end (from noon on Saturday to midday on Sunday).
Diane Cairns who works for Manor & Castle Development Trust who also organised the Sheffield's Relay for Life had local people take part in the relay around a special track marked out roughly where Mary Queen of Scots used to stroll 400 years ago.
Diane said "It's been fantastic, It's doing something worthwhile and different, it's something people will always remember." The idea of the event was to remember people who had died as a result of cancer and to celebrate the 'survivors' who'd come through treatment. And some were walking the relay to celebrate their own personal achievement.
