Staff take part in Race for Life

Five ladies from Corinium Care are tying up their trainers and limbering up to run the Cotswold Race for Life on Sunday May 17.

Directors Amanda Butler and Clare Armstrong will be striding out with Fiona Bird, Victoria Taylor and Suzanne Hathaway at Kemble Airfield.

The women-only race is in its 16th year and it is the third consecutive year that the Corinium team have taken to the field.

“We’ve all got different personal reasons for wanting to support Cancer Research UK. None of us are athletes, but the great thing about Race for Life is that we can walk if we get puffed out,” said Operations Director Amanda Butler.

“There’s an incredible atmosphere as well. It’s a very emotional day for many of the participants.”

Corinium Care, based in Nailsworth, provides 24-hour live-in care for the elderly and infirm and also has first-hand experience of helping those who have been diagnosed with cancer to remain comfortably cared for at home whilst undergoing treatment.

There are 230 different Race for Life events across the UK this year and the target is for 680,000 women to take part.
The staff at Corinium raised more than £800 in 2008. If you would like to sponsor them visit www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/coriniumcare or visit their website http://www.coriniumcare.com/
