This year sees the thirtieth anniversary of Cancer Research UK's Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.

This year, people have the choice to join Race for Life and celebrate Dame Deborah James, also known as Bowelbabe. Runners can choose to Race for Bowelbabe at any event, and all the money raised will go to the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK.

This will support causes and projects that Deborah really cared about, such as clinical trials, research, and cancer information and awareness, as well as other initiatives to combat cancer and support those affected by cancer.
