FIVE Trowbridge women turned on the style to raise money for Cancer Research at last weekend's Race for Life at the University of Bath campus.

Jenny Dyer, the owner of Contrast Hair Studio, on Frome Road, stylists Becky Algar, Denise Mounty, Jodie Stone and Danika Ridgewell all took part in their first Race for Life.

And all five got in the swing of things by pinking up' for the Bath event.

Said Jenny: "It was a good, fun event with a meaning, and I think we'll probably do it again next year.

"We saw quite a few people we knew, mainly clients actually, along with other firms like apetito.

"We've raised about £250 and we'd just like to say a big thank you to all of our clients, friends and family who sponsored and supported us."

Hundreds of Wiltshire women joined the Race for Life event at the university and in all, about 2,500 women and girls ran, jogged or walked the five-kilometre route.

From the Bath race alone, a total of £165,000 is expected to be raised.
