Race for Life a huge success
5:07pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
Some 2,800 women got together to walk, jog or run five kilometres to raise money for Cancer Research UK at Skipton's Race for Life on Sunday.
Event manager Imogen Johnson said: "The women of Skipton deserve a really big thankyou for creating such a great atmosphere and helping make the event so special. Everyone was in a party mood and it looked like everyone had a fantastic time."
Imogen urged the women who took part in the event at Broughton Hall to help smash the fundraising target of £208,000.
"The event itself may be over, but now it is vital that everyone makes one final effort by returning their sponsorship money as soon as possible to help us cross the fundraising finish line," she said.
