Lindsey Fitness News - 2nd May 2024 -

Published: Thu, 05/02/24

Well its fingers crossed for better (drier) weather for the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend.... and goodness how the weeks are flying by!

Optimistic then we may be for brighter , drier days ... and getting out in the fresh air. For those with dogs of course, getting out to walk them a couple of times a day is a non negotiable rain or shine really, but it is always so much nicer when the sun is out! The Bank Holiday weekend is a great opportunity to get out for a walk with family and friends, quality time and exercise is a great combination which will enhance mood and mindset.

May of course is traditionally the start of the Cancer Research UK Race for Life events all over the UK. Our Local event is the end of May on the Bank Holiday weekend so why not encourage family and friends to take a part this year too?. I'm so looking forward to being on stage at Stanborough Park on Sunday 26th May to host the Warm Up for everyone taking part in walking, jogging or running the 3km, 5km or 10km distance. It's not to late to sign up and help yourself to help others.

Read how and why later in this newsmail.

...whether you know of someone o mayber you personally have been affected by Cancer -YOUR HELP is most URGENTLY NEEDED on the Welwyn Hatfield Race for Life Weekend on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May.

Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. Your support, through events like the Race for Life, is what helps CRUK continue their ground-breaking work to see more people surviving cancer.

Cancer Research UK are world leaders in finding new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

CRUK receives no government funding for it's research. CRUK relies solely on the funds raised by fantastic people like you.

The Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events.

Taking place across the UK, the events include 3k, 5k and10k routes for participants to walk, jog or run, as well as the awesome Pretty Muddy obstacle events.

Started more than 25 years ago as a women-only event, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising nearly £500 million towards beating cancer over the last quarter of a century.

In 2019, for the first time, the Race for Life opened its doors to men to participate too, making it truly inclusive, and giving people the chance to come together with their family and friends, and join the movement to beat cancer.

Joining the Race for Life really does help to create

more tomorrows for more people.
