THE COUNTDOWN is on to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life in Redditch, with just two weeks to go until the big day.
Entries are open to all ages and abilities for the much-loved events which return to the town’s Arrow Valley Park on Sunday June 8.
Money raised by Race for Life enables scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer – to bring about a world where everybody lives longer and has better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
Alanis Morata, Cancer Research UK’s spokesperson in Redditch, said: “We’re making a final call to people across West Midlands to join us at Race for Life, as their participation and contribution is so important.
“No matter how cancer affects us, life is worth racing for.
“Sadly nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime* but all of us can support the research that will beat it.
“We’re proud that Race for Life has had such a positive impact. Every pound raised supports our life-saving work, which has helped double cancer survival in the UK over the last 50 years.”
There is also the Birmingham Pretty Muddy 5k and a Birmingham Pretty Muddy Kids at Cofton Park in Rednal on July 12.
