BRILLIANT NEWS
Dear Michelle,
An amazing 1737 ladies walked, jogged and ran in Brentwood in 2014, raising a staggering £149,349 for Cancer Research UK. This money will contribute to ground-breaking research into the prevention, cause, diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer. THANK YOU for supporting Race for Life in Brentwood! With your help, WE WILL beat cancer sooner.
We look forward to returning to Weald Country Park on Saturday 30th May 2015.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. Hope to see you at Race for Life 2015!
