HUNDREDS of women united against cancer by taking part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life Pretty Muddy in Cornwall.
More than 1,700 women and children took their place at the start line at the Stithians Showground on Sunday.
Now organisers of the event are sending a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who took part and all their supporters.
And they’re asking them to make every step count by paying in their sponsorship money as soon as possible so that it can be used to fund life-saving research.
Ruth Chamings, Cancer Research UK’s Cornwall events manager, said: ‘Life-saving research is being funded right now thanks to people like the women of Cornwall who join the fight at Race for Life.
‘By taking part and raising money, our participants play a crucial role in helping to turn discoveries made in the lab into new, better treatments for patients in Cornwall and across the UK and we’d like to thank everyone who took part in the event on Sunday.
‘Now we’re asking everyone who took part, and all the friends, family and colleagues who pledged to sponsor them, to return the money they’ve raised as soon as possible. Money raised - whether it’s £10 or £100 - will help Cancer Research UK scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping save more lives.’
Sponsorship money can be paid online, by phone, by cheque or in person at a Cancer Research UK shop.
