BRADFORD women fired up by the arrival of spring are being urged to channel their energy into training for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
The charity is calling on women to get moving, lace up their trainers and sign up now for the 5k event on Sunday, June 14 at Lister Park.
Sarah Threadgall, Cancer Research UK’s Bradford Event Manager, said: “Race for Life events are not competitive. They are not about being fit or fast. It’s about an army of women crossing the finish line together in the fight against cancer. Whether you’re a running pro or a novice, every step you take around the course will help bring us one step closer to the day when all cancers are cured.
“The atmosphere is incredibly supportive and pledging to take part, with alongside thousands of like-minded women, is a great motivation." With fire in their bellies and trainers at the ready, we know that Bradford ladies are up for the challenge.
Last year, 2040 women took part in Race for Life in Bradford and raised a fantastic £97,400. This year, organisers need 2100 women and girls to stride out to help raise £100,000. To enter Race for Life today go to raceforlife.org or call 0300 123 0770.
