Across the nation, women came out in force to support Race for Life. A series of 5km runs organised to help raise money and awareness for Cancer Research UK. Darwin ITC was proud to sponsor Sam Minton (Mike’s wife) and Sam Thompson (Roy Thompson’s wife) in their attempts.

Weston Park was the venue for their particular challenge on 18th July 2010. Both Sam’s families have been affected by cancer, Sam Minton’s father and Sam Thompson’s Grandfather both sadly lost their battles with the disease, making this a very emotional day.

Happily, Sam and Sam completed the run and raised over £300 for Race for Life and helped contribute to the £25,182,452 already raised to help in the fight against cancer. Everyone at Darwin ITC would like to express their congratulations to Sam Minton and Sam Thompson for completing the event and for raising a terrific amount of money. Our congratulations also go out to everyone who took part or sponsored a participant.
