This morning, 3 GoodGymer's (Amy Liam and Ben) volunteered at Cancer Research's Race for Life event at Cannon Hill Park.

We were all assigned the role of tail walkers/back marshalls which was great and meant we could stay together whilst we walked round at the back of the participants and whilst also clapping and cheering participants as they went past us for their second laps. Liam also did a great job taking control of the radio and communicating updates etc with the race control team.

It was lovely weather for it, we had a great time and it was inspiring to see everyone take part and complete the race whilst raising vital funds for cancer research.
