This week, Rebecca met with representatives from Cancer Research UK in Parliament to discuss the important work that they do and to hear about the ‘Race for Life’ series, which is travelling the country.
These 3k, 5k, and 10k events are taking place all summer, as well as their ‘Pretty Muddy’ 5k obstacle courses. Even the little ones can get involved with the Kids Pretty Muddy!
Whether you join for the memories, the medals, the fundraising or to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Race for Life is a wonderful cause and a great reason to get outside this summer.
Rebecca commented:
“It was lovely to meet representatives from a charity that does such good work. Cancer is a terrible tragedy that impacts so many lives. Together we must do everything we can to beat this disease and these fun runs are a perfect way to raise funds for such an important cause.”
