This year, the Race for Life is to be held on Southampton Common. Sunday 12th July at 11 am. Like so many people, most staff members have personal knowledge of the affects of cancer. We all feel we would like to help and ‘do our bit’ towards finding better treatments and ultimately a cure for this frightening disease.
By entering a team in the Race for Life this year, not only can we help to make a difference by raising as much money as we can for Cancer Research UK, but many of us have set ourselves personal challenges, borne out of our experiences with friends and family who have suffered from cancer.

We have set up a fund raising page on line to make donating as easy as possible. The address is
www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/davidebert

We very much hope that you will be able to help this good cause, by sponsoring us. Do visit our fundraising page to see how we all get on in our preparations for the big day!
