Bowood to host cancer fundraiser
9:24am Saturday 26th April 2008
Comments (0)THE Bowood Estate will be opening its gates later this year to host a 10km run in aid of Cancer Research.
On September 21, the Run 10k event will take place for the fourth year in aid of the charity.
Organiser Scott Renken said: "Cancer affects so many people and joining the Bowood House Run 10k is a great way to support them by raising money for Cancer Research UK's work to find new ways of treating, curing and preventing the disease."
The event, which is sponsored by Tesco, is a series of 41 events held by Cancer Research UK in different locations around the UK in the autumn.
The Bowood event, in Derry Hill, will see 800 people taking part to raise more than £47,000.
Mr Enken added: "I hope that the people of Wiltshire rise to the challenge of taking part in run 10k."
