“It would be fantastic to see a large contingent of Essendon fans out there in February raising funds for cancer while having a great time,” Ramanauskas said.
“This is an important fundraiser for the Cancer Council and it is something which I am sure Essendon supporters will want to get behind.”
The 24-hour event raises funds for cancer research, education and patient support programs.
In 2008 the Moonee Valley Relay for Life raised over $260,000 but Ramanauskas hopes the tally may be greater this year.
“In the 10th year, it would be fantastic to be able to set a record fundraising figure for the event,” Ramanauskas said.
