Weaver Primary's 2025 Race for Life fundraiser for Cancer Research UK

Weaver Primary is raising money for Cancer Research UK

RACE FOR LIFE 2025 · 21 July 2025

We‘re the world‘s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving and improving lives through research. We fund research into the prevention, detection and treatment of more than 200 types of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses.

Story

Back in 2014, we held our very first charity race at Weaver in aid of Cancer Research UK – and we are thrilled to announce that we are bringing it back! That year, children participated in a vibrant running event across various distances tailored to their ages, all while donning colourful accessories like tutus, wigs, and legwarmers. With the incredible support of our parents and community, we raised over £5,000 – a fantastic achievement that fills us with pride.

As we prepare for the RACE FOR LIFE 2025 on July 21st, we are reminded of the importance of our mission. Every step taken during this event is a step towards funding vital research that can save lives. Cancer affects so many families, and together we can make a difference. We invite you to join us in this journey and help us reach our target of £5,000.

Mr. Dean – one of our incredible teaching assistants and unstoppable running machine, is known for his jaw-dropping endurance and relentless determination.

He has already conquered legendary feats like running 10 marathons in 10 days (from Skegness to Llandudno) and smashing out 4 marathons in just 24 hours, in a gruelling ‘backyard’ ultra run, looping through Crewe and Nantwich!

Now, he’s taking on a brand new challenge – running an entire marathon around our very own school running track on Race for Life day. Get ready to cheer him on as he turns our field into his next epic adventure – all in the name of a great cause!
