BRADFORD grandmas, mums, daughters, sisters, nieces and aunts are being urged to join the fight against cancer by entering Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.

The charity is inviting women of all ages, shapes and sizes to pledge to take part in the 5k event which takes place this year on Saturday, May 19, at Lister Park.

Katie Mathers, Cancer Research UK’s Bradford Event Manager, said: “Taking part in Race for Life is a special and unique experience - full of emotion, courage, tears and laughter. By joining like-minded ladies committed to the cause, women can unite against a disease that affects us all in some way. Whether they plan to pound the pavements or amble to the finish line, every step participants take will help to support crucial research.”
