SIR – I’m urging everyone who took part in Tesco and Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life events across Worcestershire to make every step count by returning their sponsorship money as soon as possible.

Last year, just under half the women who took part didn’t return any sponsorship money.

Many don’t realise that their entry fee only covers the cost of the event.

It’s the sponsorship money that really makes a difference.

Cancer Research UK relies on money raised through Race for Life to fund lifesaving research.

Every hour, about three people are diagnosed with cancer in the West Midlands.

By helping to fund Cancer Research UK’s crucial work, people in the region could make a big difference to cancer patients here on their doorstep.

So, whatever the amount, I’m asking everyone to make every effort to return their sponsorship money.

It can be paid in online, by phone or by cheque. To find out more, visit .raceforlife.org.
