Sports Development - Race for Life

Below is an extract taken from the official Race For Life website...

Thank you to everyone who entered the Cleethorpes Race for Life - it was a brilliant event! Nearly 3500 women came together and walked, jogged or ran the 5km course to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Race for Life isn't over though until you send back your sponsorship money. From this race alone, we are hoping to raise an amazing £320,000, so don't delay in sending in your sponsorship money! We need your help to reach this target and our national target of £60 million. Every penny counts - and remember, if you send in over £125 to us within 4 weeks of taking part in your race, you will receive an exclusive Race for Life key ring.

We'd like to thank all our volunteers who kindly gave up their time to make the event happen - your support is really appreciated. A special thank-you must go to the following people and organisations for all their help and support in the lead up to the event and on the day itself:

- North Lincolnshire Council, in particular Nicola Massingham, Mark Cullum and Chris Jones
- 195 Grimsby Squadron Air Cadets
- THe Scout Fellowship
- Rob Allinson and the running club
- Ladies Circle
- SLM Leisure Centre
- Compass FM and the Grimsby Telegraph
- Calendar TV

Finally, thank you once again if you were one of the 3,500 women who took part in Cancer Research UK's Race for Life in Cleethorpes. We look forward to seeing you in 2008.
