AN Olympic event has raised a record amount for Cancer Research.

The second Keren Drive Olympics organised by Sarah Kaced, Kathryn Cobain, Grace Higgins, Daniel Thomas and Sarah Cobain took place on Sunday, June 4. The children had fun organising and taking part in three-legged races, scooter races, cycle races and running.

Kathryn Cobain said: "More people came than we expected. It was a great success and all for a good cause, helping others less fortunate than ourselves. It was well worth the effort."

All the contestants received certificates to show they took part and the winners of events received prizes. They made items of jewellery, drinks and cakes and raised a total of £100 for Cancer Research.
