When planning your event, don't forget that there will probably be some children that attend as cancer survivors. Make sure that you don't overlook these incredibly special people. Imagine what it must have taken for these children to have to face a disease that so many adults have a difficult time with.

These children are heroes who have been forced to fight a battle so early in their lives. They deserve just as much recognition and consideration as every other cancer survivor at your event.

Some ways you can honor these special children at your event are:

1. Make sure you order enough child sized survivor shirts.
2. Have purple Relay balloons to give to the children.
3. Let the children lead the Survivors' Lap.
4. Make sure that some teams have child-friendly activities at their tents.
5. Let the child-survivors play for free.
6. Have a special cake/cupcakes/treat in the Survivors' tent for the children.

If your Relay does something special for child-survivors, share your ideas here, please.
