We're doing it again!  Lexy's Midnight Runners will be doing the 2010 Knaresborough Bed Race raising money for Cancer Research UK.  Several of our team have known loved ones affected by cancer and we've chosen to support this worthy charity this year and to raise as much money as possible in their memory and to raise valuable funds for everyone affected by cancer. 

The bed race has been going for years and years and has become a really historic occasion in Yorkshire with over 70 teams entered every year.  Its a really fun but gruelling dash round Knaresborough which some teams take really seriously training for months and some just do it for fun BUT the main point of all this is that it raises a serious amount of money for charity and that is the only reason people take part. 

Last year Lexy's Midnight Runners braved scorching heat and crowds to take part and we survived!  We even managed to finish although we can only get better this year!  But we did raise over £500 for Martin House Children's Hospice.  

This year me and my friends Emma, Naomi, Sharon, Jenny and Adele will make up a 6 girl team 'Lexy's Midnight Runners'.  The bed race day starts with a themed parade around Knaresborough where teams 'dress up' their beds, this year the theme is occupations.  

So PLEASE PLEASE help us all support our charity Cancer Research UK. 

If you can find it in your heart and pockets to support Cancer Research it will go directly towards helping fight this disease that affects so many people.  And there are more ways to help then just to donate money - we will take all the help we can get with designing and preparing the bed so if you want to offer support please let me know.

If you are in Knaresborough on the 12th you are all more than welcome to come and join the fun with us for the day.
