“It’s not an easy task to keep the hoop going for that distance but we made it. It was an amazing effort. We smashed our target and the sun stayed out. ”Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is an inspiring series of 3k, 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Pretty Muddy Kids events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer by funding life-saving research.
Now organisers are sending a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who put their best feet forward as well as their supporters. And they’re appealing for people to make every step count by paying in sponsorship money as soon as possible. Lisa Adams, Cancer Research UK’s spokeswoman in Scotland, said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in Race for Life Glasgow.
“Sadly nearly one in two 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.
“Race for Life powers progress and it relies on a whole community of people coming together, united by a common purpose to beat cancer. “It was a special day as people came together to celebrate the lives of those dear to them who have survived cancer and to remember loved ones lost to the disease. “Now we’re asking everyone who took part to return the money they’re raised as soon as possible.
Every donation, every pound raised will make a real difference and help people live longer, better lives free from the fear of cancer. ” Since it began in 1994, more than 10 million people have taken part in Race for Life, contributing millions of pounds towards life-saving research.
