From the American Cancer Society

Each year Burbank takes part in this great event! It’s a chance for all to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, remember loved ones we’ve lost to the battle, and fight back against this disease by participating and making contributions.

This event runs from 9am Saturday May 15th to 9am Sunday, May 16th. This year it will be held at Johnny Carson Park, (400 So. Bob Hope Drive in Burbank) This tradition has been going strong since 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, Washington, circled a track for 24 hours, covering over 83 miles, raising $27,000 for the American Cancer Society to show his support for his patients that battled the disease.

Teams of people camp out and take turns walking or running around a path. Each team is asked to have a participant on the track at all times during the event. Relays are 24 hours in length; this represents the reality that cancer never sleeps. It’s a great way to raise money to help fight cancer in your community. The Opening Ceremony takes place at 9am Saturday with the Survivors Lap to follow. An inspiring tradition is the Luminaria Ceremony at 9pm Saturday night when everyone comes together to pay tribute as they walk in silence through the path lined with candles lit inside bags filled with sand, representing the people touched by cancer. The Fight Back – Closing Ceremony is held at 8am on Sunday.
