Cancer survivor Sara Wilson backs Race for Life CANCER Research UK is offering runners a discount on entry to the 2021 Race for Life in Blackburn. The popular running event is set to return to Blackburn on June 23, with socially-distanced measures in place for participants. This January, runners can claim 30 per cent off by using the code JAN2021. The charity has predicted a £300 million drop in income over the next three years due to the Covid-19 crisis, which saw 400 Race for Life events cancelled in 2020. Sarah Hunter, Cancer Research UK’s Event Manager for Blackburn, said: “The truth is, Covid-19 has slowed us down. But we will never stop and we are absolutely determined to continue to create better cancer treatments for tomorrow.
