WOMEN are being urged to make a stand against cancer by signing up for this year’s Race for Life.
Registration is now open for the charity event which takes place in Verulamium Park on Sunday, July 28.
The annual race invites women of all ages to run, jog or walk 5km to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Julie Braithwaite, Cancer Research UK’s east events manager, said: “Come on ladies, please play your part by entering Race for Life in St Albans today. Together we can hit cancer where it hurts!
“There are over 200 cancers and we won’t give up until we find cures for them all. It’s fighting talk, and we mean every word we say. Cancer, St Albans is coming to get you.”
