<p>The annual <a href="http://secondlife.com/"><em>Second Life</em></a> Relay for Life raises cash for the American Cancer Society every year as a virtual environment analog of the physical world event. It's definitely one of the high points of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/second-life"><em>Second Life</em></a> calendar. Though lesser fundraising events are held through the year to raise money for this worthy cause, this weekend is the big one. </p>
<p><em>Second Life's</em> Relay for Life has raised over a third of a million US dollars since its inception, and raises more each year. Look past the sensationalistic guff in the media, and one of the most remarked on characteristics of <em>Second Life</em> users is their charity and generosity towards those in genuine need.</p><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/17/annual-second-life-relay-for-life-to-raise-funds-for-cancer-rese/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Annual Second Life Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research this weekend</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/17/annual-second-life-relay-for-life-to-raise-funds-for-cancer-rese/">Annual Second Life Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research this weekend</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:00:00 EST.
