Hundreds of people from across Cornwall joined together in the fight against cancer at this year's Liskeard Relay For Life.
Survivors and supporters completed the 24-hour relay at Liskeard Rugby Club over the weekend, raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK.
"The sunshine made it one of the best and enjoyable relays we have ever done and so far we have made a fantastic total of more than £17, 000," said organiser Laura Jewell.
Now in its sixth year the event brings together survivors, fundraisers and supporters to help raise money for the charity.
"The hope is that in thirty years' time we will have a cure and our children and our children's children won't live in fear of what we do," Mrs Jewell said.
Cancer survivor Chloe Niedzielski was one of the younger participants at the event.
"This is my fourth relay," the 12-year-old said.
Diagnosed with leukaemia when she was 14-months-old, the schoolgirl said she raises money for the charity every year.
"I do it to raise money for Cancer Research and it's nice to meet people who went through what I went through," she said.
As well as taking part in the relay Marie Hughes from Landrake had her head shaved to raise funds for the charity.
"When I was told my uncle has prostate cancer and is dying I felt helpless and didn't know what to do," she said.
"If I thought giving my right arm would make a difference to everyone that's hurting and stop it all I bloody would.
"So I thought at least I can do this."
