Eleven
years on, Race for Life has grown to become the UK's biggest women
only fundraising event with your help.
Women
of all ages and all levels of fitness take part in Race for Life.
Over
the years a fantastic 拢70 million has been raised for Cancer
Research UK. More than 1.4 million women have taken part.
This
year the organisers nationwide hope to raise 拢23 million by
bringing 425,000 women together, all raising sponsorship to support
the work of Cancer Research UK.
Such
events like Race for Life are vitally important to Cancer Research
UK as they enable the charity to continue their life-saving work.
Cancer
Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated
to cancer research, with a team of over 3,000 scientists, doctors
and nurses.
The
next Race For Life will be in Falmouth on Sunday 22 May. If you're
going along why not email in your pictures. We will add them to
our gallery.
