Hi folks, so I clicked a 'sign up' button and now I'm  running Race for Life this year, hurrah! This charity is really important to me and has helped so many people I know. I'd really appreciate any donations and hopefully it should be a smidge easier than the 13 miles last year! Thanks so much and of course I shall wear pink on the day, a colour I am honestly not that fond of. Here's a little bit more about this fantastic charity and all the good work they do...

We fund research into many aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK.

Our vision – together we will beat cancer – is only achievable thanks to people like you taking part in and supporting Race for Life events.

In 2007 we set ourselves ten ambitious goals to help measure our success in beating cancer. We work to achieve these goals by:

• Carrying out world-class research to improve our understanding of cancer and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer.
• Ensuring that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients.
• Helping people to understand cancer, the progress we are making and the choices each person can make.
• Working in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.

Our work is entirely funded by the public so the money you raise for your Race for Life event can help us achieve our goals and give hope to people affected by cancer both now and in the future.

 

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you can help more people survive cancer..
