In the past, the event was held at Ashley Pond, but this year the event will be moved to the high school track. Fitzgerald said walking on the track will be safer at night, plus there are bathroom facilities on the site.Relay for Life has had a successful history in Los Alamos. Fitzgerald said last year, $40,000 was raised. This year the goal is to raise $50,000. Another success story is that in 2006, Los Alamos earned a national award for having the highest numbers of cancer survivors participate in the relay.
