The forecast wet weather for this weekend has forced the organisers of this year’s South Burnett Relay For Life to shift the event indoors.
The major fundraiser for Cancer Council Queensland will now be held on Saturday at the Kingaroy Town Hall.
Organiser Rowena Dionysius told southburnett.com.au all the major highlights would still be going ahead.
The opening ceremony will start at 2:00pm, and there will be entertainment, including a dance troupe, to encourage the walkers to keep on going.
The candlelight ceremony, which honours friends and relatives who have succumbed to cancer, will be held at 6:30pm.
However, as has been the case in recent years, the Relay will not be continuing overnight.
The closing ceremony has been scheduled for 10:30pm.
Funds already raised include $28,602 by the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club at “Ride 4 Relay” and the “Cattle For A Cure” sale (heifer auction), $25,295 at the “Cricket 4 Life” fun day, $20,932 by “Brooksy’s Crew” (in memory of the late Ben Brooks), $5040 by Proston Angels, $4388 at Chrissy Trees 4 U’s “Christmas In July” and $1124 by “Birds Of A Feather”.
