A RESTAURANT owner in Drighlington has raised £2,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR) after taking part in the Run for All Leeds 10K.
Bobby Patel, owner of the award-winning restaurant Prashad, decided to take part in the event after his dad, Mohan, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
He received the all-clear earlier this year after undergoing treatment at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
Bobby’s wife Minal, head chef at Prashad, has now been inspired to take up running herself and the couple will take part in the Bradford 5K together on October 30.
The pair are working with YCR, a recent partner in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus Crocus Cancer Appeal, to raise awareness of the disease among Asian communities across the district.
"It’s amazing for us to be able to do something together outside work, and we’re really looking forward to taking part in the 5K," said Mr Patel.
"Statistics around cancer, particularly in Asian communities, are really worrying, so we’re trying to raise awareness as much as possible."
