The 24-hour relay couldn't take place in Pairc Charman due to Covid-19 and the committee made the tough decision to cancel. That a non-event would be so successful shows just how important Relay is to the people of Wexford', she said. It brings the total amount raised by Relay in Wexford to over €400,000 in the space of five years. Team fundraising and candle bag sales were moved online this year and supporters were asked to relay at home, in their garden, housing estate or street. Last Saturday, Relay for Life broadcast a three-hour Virtual Relay live on Facebook from 7p.m.
