Help Team Reflection go that extra mile!

in News

Team Reflection is going the extra mile this weekend with two members taking part in fantastic events all in the name of charity!

Suzy and Hannah have both been training very hard over the last few months to take part in events to help beat Cancer.

Our account director Hannah has signed up to walk 26 miles in her bra, all in aid of Breast Cancer research. As for Suzy, our Managing Director, she will be taking part in the Race for Life, not content with slowly making it round the 5K last year; she will be attempting the 10K race – no pressure!

The London MoonWalk takes place overnight on the 16th May when thousands of men and women set off from Clapham Common to power walk the streets of London, uniting to raise cash and awareness for Breast Cancer. And that’s not all – they’ll all be doing it in the charity’s trademark bright pink bras!

 “Training’s been going well and the entry pack, complete with bra, has now arrived so it’s all starting to feel very real.  I’ve even roped my Mum into walking the 26 miles with me!” Hannah says.

The charity’s flagship event raises money and awareness for vital cancer causes. This one night is expected to raise in excess of £6 million with the aim of granting 75% of the funds to benefitting charities and organisations.

The Race for Life, taking place on 16th May at the Norfolk Showground sees hundreds of ladies dressed in pink and ready to walk, jog or walk the race all for Cancer Research.

Suzy adds: “My sister bullied me into the 10k as apparently we need a new challenge! Training’s been interesting but I am determined to run the whole way.”

Over the past 20 years, more than seven million women have taken part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life. In 2015 Cancer Research UK hopes that Race for Life will raise £50 million so that it can keep on fighting until cures for all 200 types of cancer, affecting men, women and children, are found.

If you’d like to support Suzy or Hannah and spur them both to the finish line, head over to their fundraising pages now:
