I WOULD like to send a heartfelt message of thanks to all the readers who took part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life events at Victoria Park and reassure anyone who hasn’t returned their sponsorship money yet that there’s still time.

More than 2,849 mums, grandmas, daughters, sisters, aunts, workmates and friends united in Warrington with one mission in mind – to beat cancer sooner.

One in two of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. But thanks to advances in research, the good news is more people are surviving than ever before.

And that’s why we need everyone who took part to take the vital last step by collecting their sponsorship money – whatever the amount.

You can pay your sponsorship money online, by phone, by cheque or in person at a Cancer Research UK shop. Just visit raceforlife.org to find out more.
