If, like me, you're hacked off with the number of people being affected by cancer then sponsor me and together we can kick cancer's butt. It doesn't matter how much - anything you can mange will help and I'll be hugely grateful for your donation. I'm doing this run with a few buddies (our team is the Muddy Muckers) and we're hoping to raise a decent chunk of cash. So what are you waiting for? Let's do it and find a cure! Thanks, love Claire x

Now here's the brilliantly written and official copy:

I'm joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year. Please join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring me - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.

Don't forget to add Gift Aid

If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no extra cost to you.

Sponsor me now, and help me show cancer that hell hath no fury like a woman in pink.
