Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is the UK’s largest women only fundraising series where women everywhere are invited to do something amazing and come together to walk, jog or run 5k and raise money to help beat cancer.
In 2009, a record 737,745 women took part in events across the UK, looking to raise £60 million to help fund Cancer Research UK’s life-saving research.
Louise Cracknell, Event Manager for Race for Life, said: “The feel-good factor that comes from preparing to walk, jog or run the 5k, and then sharing in the spirit of sisterhood and pride on the day, will last far longer than turkey and tinsel!”
“Race for Life has a fantastic atmosphere with women of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness abilities coming together to make a positive difference to the lives of people touched by cancer.
“They motivate and inspire each other to complete the 5k, with many simply walking round, chatting and having fun.”
This year, Cancer Research UK spent a record £333 million on our life-saving research, and a further £11 million on information and advocacy, funding 4,500 researchers across the UK.
