Mum’s the word for Welwyn Hatfield’s Race for Life
WITH Mother’s Day nearly here, Cancer Research UK has the perfect way for women in Welwyn Hatfield to show how much they care – by entering Race for Life with their mums.
Signing up to Race for Life offers the ideal solution to the annual gift dilemma and gives the unique opportunity to help beat cancer.
And organisers guarantee the feelgood factor that comes from taking part in the 5k event – whether you walk, jog or run – will last far longer than the traditional gifts of chocolates and flowers.
Race for Life is the country’s largest women-only fundraising event series where all the money raised goes to fund Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work.
Once again the Welwyn Hatfield run will take place at Stanborough Park in WGC – on Sunday, June 6.
