Can you help?

They’re looking to recruit volunteers for the event at Stockwood Park on Sunday June 24.

Event organiser Becky Ryczowski said: “Race for Life is women-only but we’d like the support of men too.

“It’s all of us versus cancer so we need the whole community to lend a hand to join the fight.”

Volunteers are required for leaflet distribution prior to the Race and on the day itself there will be a myriad tasks – everything from marshalling to managing the information marquee and handing out medals.

Anyone who comes forward will gain practical hands-on experience, working with people from all walks of life, with the added bonus of contributing to a seriously worthwhile cause.

Becky said: “We welcome men and women of all ages and abilities.

“They don’t need to know anyone who’s taking part –they’ll be doing their bit simply by joining our squad.”

She added: “Our volunteers have a great time working with members of the community to create a hugely successful fundraising event, enabling thousands of women and their supporters to rise vital funds for Cancer Research UK’s pioneering work.”

Volunteers will receive a special T-shirt.
