Giuliana, an E! News host, is a breast cancer survivor. She and her husband Bill, who won the first season of “The Apprentice,” will share their journey through struggles with cancer and share a message of hope.

Relay for Life begins at 5 p.m., and the keynote address at 6 p.m. 

Relay For Life is an annual event held in conjunction with the American Cancer Society, in which teams register to compete in the 12-hour fundraiser by taking turns walking or running around a track. Funds raised from Relay For Life allow the American Cancer Society to work toward a world without cancer.
