Relay for Life is a perfect charity event for Kirriemuir, or maybe Kirriemuir is perfect for Relay for Life! The people of Kirriemuir always embrace a challenge and the opportunity to work together as a community - and this has been highlighted by the fantastic response to our two previous Relays, which were held in 2007 and 2009. Cancer affects everyone but the people of Kirriemuir are certainly doing their bit to help raise funds to beat this disease. Kirriemuir Relay for Life goes from strength to strength and we're looking forward to the 2011 event and to welcoming teams from Kirriemuir and the surrounding area to our new location at the Kirrie Show Field on the outskirts of the town. Hope to see you there!
