Office administrator, Katrina Jackson joined over 2450 other girls to run the Race for Life at the Knavesmire, York race course last Sunday.
It was a hot day for running, but Kat raised £200 for Cancer Research, completing her run in 30 minutes. Cancer research UK say that the York event should raise about £134,000 by the time all the sponsorship monies are collected.
It’s not only about the money though. Kat says that it was a real party atmosphere with many women and girls in fancy dress too. “When the run was over, you could see that everyone thought we’d really achieved something, not only for the charity, but for ourselves too!”
Cancer Research UK provides cutting edge research into the treatment of cancer and is close to Katrina?s heart, as, like many of us, she has relatives and friend who have had to battle this disease.
