RACE FOR CHARITY

We are delighted to announce an exciting partnership with Cancer Research UK, the Official Charity of Rat Race Events Series. Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to saving lives through cancer research. Their work, funded entirely by the public, is nothing short of groundbreaking, and has meant that cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years. Both Cancer Research UK and Rat Race share a spirit of challenging what is thought to be impossible. But we believe that, by working together, and with the support of our adventurous Rat Race participants, we will beat cancer. Take part in Men's Health Survival of the Fittest for Cancer Research UK, and we’ll pay part of your entry fee!  If you become a Survivor and raise £100 for Cancer Research UK through Justgiving, we’ll return £10 of your entry fee. For more information, please visit the Cancer Research UK website. Alternatively, you can contact the Cancer Research UK Sports Team on sportsteam@cancer.org.uk, or by calling the Cancer Research UK Hotline on 0871 641 2403. Make your Rat Race challenge mean so much more, and join us in supporting Cancer Research UK. Together we will beat cancer. Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666) and the Isle of Man (1103).

If you are a charity interested in working with us on the 2013 MH Survival, please email jeremy.watson@ratrace.com with your enquiry and we will be happy to share our 2013 Charity Programme with you for your consideration.

If you are an individual thinking about taking part in the 2013 MH Survival to raise money for charity, well done for getting this far and contemplating the challenge ahead. The MH Survival event is an ideal fund-raising platform; it is a fantastic physical and mental goal for fund-raising.

You are free to raise funds for the charity of your choice or you might choose to support one of our official 2013 charity partners, who may be able to offer a special fundraiser’s deal on entry or other incentives and provide you with support throughout your fundraising activities. Either way, there is no obligation whatsoever to raise any money from your participation and many many people come to take part simply for the challenge in its own right. We simply offer the platform; you choose your cause.
