WARRINGTON women are being urged to enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life now that entry to the event is officially open.
This year’s race will take place on Sunday July 4, at 11am at Arley Hall and Gardens. Organisers hope 2,500 women will put their best feet forward and raise over £133,375 – the target set for this year’s event.
Participants will be part of a total of 700,000 women taking part in over 230 events across the UK between May and July hoping to raise a total of £60 million to fund the charity’s life saving work.
The charity is asking Warrington women to recruit their friends, family and colleagues and share amazing moments as they become part of the biggest female-only team in the UK.
All women are welcome, regardless of whether they are taking part on their own or as part of a group. Women of all ages and fitness abilities join together to walk, jog or run 5k to help beat cancer.
Hannah Thomas, Cancer Research UK’s North West Events Manager, said: “This year Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is going to be full of amazing moments for everyone – from lining up at the start, side-by-side with thousands of other women, to reading the inspirational ‘back-signs’ worn by participants to the fantastic sense of achievement from crossing the finish line.”
Cancer Research UK funds world-class research and clinical trials throughout the North West. Cancer Research UK spent over £19.5 million in the region last year on a wide range of research into children’s and adult cancers. Much of this funding goes towards the pioneering work of the doctors and scientists at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research.
