The aim of "Slimming World does Race for Life" is to raise money for charity while raising awareness about the benefits of getting active, including increasing energy levels, reducing stress, building self-esteem, improving health and helping to maintain a healthy weight. Having an active lifestyle also reduces the risk of developing a range of health conditions including some types of cancer.

Every penny raised will go towards an amazing cause, helping Cancer Research UK to fund pioneering, life-saving research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all cancers. One in three people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and research has shown that many types of cancer are more common in people who are overweight. Cancer touches so many people’s lives and at Slimming World we’re determined to do anything we can to help people lead healthier lives in whatever way possible, that’s why I’m so pleased that my group is getting behind this event and encouraging others to do the same.

My amazing members from both the Woodland Road Sports & Social (on a Monday) & the Old Cwmbran Group (on a Tuesday) are planning to all come together & complete this 5K Race for Life & raise the awareness of not just how important it is to improve health & help maintain a healthy weight, but also help raise money for such an important cause.

We will be starting off at the Oasis Car Park on Thursday 21st July at 6pm & completing a 5k jog, run, walk around the boating lake & back. Everyone is welcome in Slimming World (Ladies, Gents, Children, Family Pets), please come along to join in or support us, the more the merrier!!!
