OUR TEAM OF RUNNERS TAKE ON THE RACE FOR LIFE

A team of seven intrepid Cullimore Dutton runners took part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life at Delamere Forest on the 21 May

Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events. Taking place across the UK, the events include 3k, 5k and 10k routes.

Race for Life started 30 years ago as a womenonly event. The first event was held in Battersea, in 1994, where 750 participants raised £48,000. Since that point, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising over £940 million towards beating cancer over the last quarter of a century.

In 2019, for the first time, the Race for Life opened its doors to men to participate too, making it a truly inclusive event, giving people the chance to come together with their family and friends, and join the movement to help beat cancer.

Delamere Forest’s scenic Race for Life course featured a mixture of terrain such as winding trails and undulating stone paths all through the charming Cheshire woodland.

Seven members of our team took part in the 5k race including Legal Assistant Daisy Burton, Trainee Solicitors Francesca Crank and Isabella Martindale. Senior Paralegal, Sarah Gill, Solicitor and Associate Director, Louise Holmes, Solicitor Kainat Jones and Legal Secretary Rhodri Roberts.

Rhodri said: “The Race for Life is not only a good opportunity for me to dress up in a dodgy Hawaiian shirt and to be outrun by the others, but is also a great opportunity for us to raise money for a good cause.

“Supporting any charity/good cause is often a deeply personal matter revolving around loved ones, challenges in our own lives or simply to play a part in defeating a particular condition.”

Rhodri has a Go Fund me page and would welcome and donations no mater how great or small. Anyone wishing to donate can do so by clicking here.
