Congratulations!

You have taken the first step towards being part of Team Breast Cancer Care in the 2011 Reading Half Marathon!

The spectacular roar from the crowd as you enter the Madejeski stadium after 13.1 miles is an experience not to be missed so why not take to the streets of Reading this March and run to support Breast Cancer Care ?

How we will support you

If you have your own place in the race then we do not ask you to raise a minimum amount, we just ask you try and raise as much as possible. We will be on hand with top fundraising tips, regular newsletters and all the advice and encouragement you need to hit your personal target.

We also have a limited number of guaranteed places available in return for a pledge to raise a minimum of £300 sponsorship. This will also cover your race entry fees.

All Team Breast Cancer Care runners will receive:

• A fab and funky bright pink running vest
• A support pack full of fundraising and training advice
• Regular e-newsletters to keep you updated
• Support from a dedicated member of the sports team
• 20% off sportswear specialists Sweaty Betty products
• Fundraising materials to help you including balloons, posters and collection tins

Why run for us?

Every year 46,000 people hear the devastating news that they have breast cancer. The confusion and fear that this causes will be felt not just by the person diagnosed, but by their family and friends too.

Breast Cancer Care is just a phone call or mouse-click away for anyone affected by breast cancer. Our free helpline and information-packed website offer a friendly ear and expert advice to those dealing with the turmoil of this life-threatening illness. Across the UK we also offer professional support through a range of confidential, face-to-face services, helping people every step of the way.

Our services are provided free thanks to the generosity of people like you.
