Share Your Relay For Life Photos and Shout-Outs

American Cancer Society fundraiser runs through Sunday morning at San Jose Middle School in Novato. Upload your favorite shots, pass along kudos to the amazing volunteers and pay tribute to loved ones.

Think about the list of our most cherished public events here in Novato, and you'll come up with a list that includes the Novato Fourth of July Parade, the Novato Festival of Art, Wine & Music, the Greek Festival, the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, School Fuel's Tour of Novato and many others. But none is more emotional than the American Cancer Society's Novato Relay for Life.

This is the place to upload your photos, videos and comments about the event, which is going on through Sunday morning at San Jose Middle School. These relays, which have raised millions worldwide for cancer research, are described as life-changing events that give everyone a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, support friends and families affected and fight back against the disease.

Share your shots, your clips and your thoughts here. If you haven't made a donation to one of the local teams, you can go right here to do so. Consider signing up for next year's event.
