Cancer Research UK wants to paint Haverfordwest pink tomorrow (Saturday), to officially launch this year’s Race for Life.

The annual event at Scolton Manor inspires hundreds of women across the county to get their trainers on and raise money for the charity.

South Wales Race for Life events manager Kelly Rumble will be in at the Riverside shopping centre from 11am to 2pm, rallying women to get involved.

Kelly and other volunteers will be easy to spot in their bright pink T-shirts. She is hoping that shops and staff in the town will enter into the spirit by wearing pink for the day.

There will also be posters and leaflets available to distribute in shops and offices, as the charity pushes to beat last year’s record entry numbers of 1,870.

"This year Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is going to be full of amazing moments for everyone," she said.

"Women of all ages, abilities, shapes and sizes take part in Race for Life. They motivate and inspire each other to complete the 5k course.

"Many simply walk round, chatting and having fun but they all share the wonderful atmosphere at the event. By helping to raise money through Race for Life, our supporters are turning hope into reality."
