The actual relay part of the Relay For Life will look a little different, but Croft hopes folks will get into the spirit of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big part of the relay is still walking and doing laps\u2026We\u2019re doing a walking rally on the Saturday before the event, so the Saturday the 13th\u2026We talked to the town of Sackville, and they set a perimeter for us, so we have a map of our perimeter.
