Captain Banjo's Street Band in Braunton fighting cancer with cheerful tunes

Captain Banjo's Street Band rocked at the Relay for Life, Braunton, North Devon this weekend (13th June 2009) after cancer survivors completed a circuit of the running track and their supporters started their marathon 24 hour relay run in support of cancer sufferers fund raising.

Those who have not attended these celebrations of the human spirit cannot fully appreciate the feelings of hope, courage and community that are generated at these events.

Cancer is a disease that can afflict any of us and the speeches of the cancer sufferers and their supporters were visibly moving to many of the onlookers.

Captain Banjo's Street Band is proud to have helped in some small way to support the Relay for Life, Braunton, Devon in its fight against cancer.
