NEW YORK, NY, May 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Relay for Life began in Australia in 1999, when the Victorian community of Murrumbeena raised over $75,000 for the Cancer Council.

Every five minutes, another Australian is diagnosed with cancer and even though survival rates are improving every day, cancer remains a leading cause of death in Australia. Relay for Life is an opportunity for the community to get together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember lost loved ones and fight back against cancer. "This is a fantastic event that not only helps to raise funds for the fight against cancer, but is also an opportunity for affected families to find healing, comfort and support from others who have faced cancer or who have lost loved ones to the disease," said Tim Kennedy, managing director of LMS Thinking. "The firm have recently expanded into Australia and we are passionate about getting involved with and helping out the local community through supporting this event and helping people and families to raise money for this fantastic cause," added Tim Kennedy.
The family thanked everyone for their generosity in supporting their Relay for Life endeavours. As a result they walked a total of 38km. "We just wanted to send you all a very big thank you for your fantastic efforts in supporting Ashleigh's Relay for Life campaign. It looks like we will finish up raising around $12,500 (for the two teams) out of an expected overall total of approx $120,000 for the event. This was the second highest amount out of the 52 teams" said the family. "We are totally blown away by this effort which once again reflects the fantastic support we have received from our wonderful family and friends over the past twelve months. We are so very grateful to you all."
Tim Kennedy and LMS Thinking are delighted that the relay has been a success and are keen to donate to more fantastic causes throughout the local community over the coming months.
