World Cancer Research Fund are calling for those who have secured their own place in the 2012 race to consider fund-raising for us.

It’s easy to join Team WCRF and in return we offer full support with training and nutritional advice, an essential runners kit containing your unique WCRF running vest, a fund-raising pack and your own personalised online sponsorship page.

WCRF also offers a pasta party the day before the race and a post-race reception with a free massage and shower to soothe away aches or pains.

Scientists estimate about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented by following a healthy diet, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight.

So not only will taking part in the London Marathon help you get into the kind of habits that can reduce your own cancer risk, but money raised will help us continue to fund our research and education programmes on cancer prevention.

If you are interested in running for us, visit www.wcrf-uk.org/fundraising or call 0207 343 4200.
