Today we launch our coverage of this year's Race For Life.

Few charity events bring together so many people to support such a good cause. Organisers are hoping 4,000 women will take part in York this year to raise money for cancer research.

You do not need to be a marathon runner to enter. Many entrants walk the 5km course.

As those who have taken part before will testify, this is a fantastic day out.

We will be there on May 19.

Come and join us.
