Race for Penny Brohn Cancer Care!

14th & 15th June 2008

Join the Penny Brohn Cancer Care team for the most exciting event to hit Bristol this year! 

We are pleased to announce that we are the official charity for the Bristol Rat Race!

The Rat Race is a mental and physical adventure challenge that uses the Bristol cityscape as its playground over a whole weekend. Teams of three run, climb, mountain bike, abseil and kayak the streets, structures, waterways and urban landscape as they navigate their way around a course that's only revealed hours before they begin.

Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formally Bristol Cancer Help Centre) provides complementary care to people with cancer, and their loved ones.  So not only will you have a great time taking part in this awesome, unique event but you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you’ll also be helping people in Bristol with cancer now.
Your fundraising will make a considerable and very tangible difference to all those who will pass through our doors. We are open to all and offer a safe environment for our mind body and spirit when we are at our most vulnerable.  Visit our website to find out more about Penny Brohn Cancer Care.

Liam Williams pictured here with his mum says 'Running for Penny Brohn Cancer Care meant a lot to me as my family has been affected by cancer in the past. It was fantastic to gain awareness of the charity and they certainly repaid my efforts on the day. Penny Brohn members all greeted my mother (who watched) and I with smiley faces at 7 in the morning and wanted to make sure we got the most out of the day. They welcomed my mother to join them at cheering on runners during the race which she thoroughly enjoyed. For me it was a fantastic day. The atmosphere was amazing and at every stage of the race people were cheering me on which kept me going. It was great seeing Penny Brohn members supporting me too, I felt like part of the team and the whole day was a great team effort. It has made me addicted to half marathons and I have to thank Penny Brohn Cancer Care for helping me have a day I will never forget.'
