Southport students back charity mission to say 'neigh' to cancer

STUDENTS and staff at Southport College have pledged their support for North West Cancer Research's flagship fundraising event Canter for Cancer, to help fund lifesaving cancer research. The science department at the College has a long standing relationship with North West Cancer Research, raising more than £2,000 to date through various fundraising activities organised by students. Southport College will now encourage as many students and staff as possible to register for Canter for Cancer; a 5k race around Aintree race course, in novelty horses heads on Sunday, 6 March 2016. The recruitment drive will begin on campus this week, with various marketing activities and students wishing to take part collect sign up packs from Reception or visit:- CanterForCancer.Com.

All money raised from the event will support cancer research projects in the North West including those based at the University of Liverpool. North West Cancer Research has committed to funding more than £12.3million worth of research projects over the next 5 years; £8.8million of which will be based in Liverpool. Principal of Southport College, John Clarke said:- "The whole college is getting behind this immensely worthwhile cause and we hope to make a significant contribution to the challenging fundraising targets that North West Cancer Research must meet to continue their important work."

Southport College Science student Jade Pascoe, has signed up to take part because after a family member was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. She said:- "To be able to raise money and awareness of the importance of cancer research in the North West is something which is close to my heart. Someone in my family was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, which has been a hard time for us all. They are undergoing lots of tests to determine the best course of treatment. It's the first time anyone in our family has had this type of cancer. There is no hereditary link, but it could affect future generations; which is why research into the causes of cancer is so important."

Jade will be joined on the starting line, by fellow students Holly Moran and Sophie O'Farrell and Jade Pascoe have decided to take part, after benefitting from the support North West Cancer Research has given to the science department. Sophie commented:- "I have really benefited from being able to fundraise for the charity and have been lucky enough to enjoy visits to their research laboratories, witnessing first-hand the cancer research it enables. The links with North West Cancer Research have inspired me to pursue a career in science and I am really looking forward to taking part in Canter for Cancer and help the charity further the research it supports."

Canter for Cancer will start at 10am, at Aintree Racecourse on Sunday, 6 March 2016. The event is open to all and North West Cancer Research hopes to attract individuals, families, charity runners and corporate organisations. The main run will be followed by a 500m Only Foals and Horses race for younger runners aged 6 and under. Canter for Cancer is supported by headline sponsors Investec Wealth & Investment, as well as the Liverpool FC Foundation and The Jockey Club who operate Aintree Racecourse.

Anne Jackson, CEO North West Cancer Research said:- "Students and staff at Southport College, have provided amazing support for the work we do, for the last two years and it's wonderful to see them getting behind us once more with Canter for Cancer. Cancer sadly affects every single one of us in some way or other. But the good news is that today in the UK for the 1st time ever, ½ of all people diagnosed with cancer survive; and that is thanks to research. Research is vital to our understanding of cancer, how to detect it, how to treat it and how to prevent it. Every penny raised for North West Cancer Research helps to fund world class cancer research, right here in the North West. We want as many people as possible to pop on a horse's head and join us at Aintree in March and help us say neigh to cancer once and for all."

Registrations for Canter for Cancer are now open online.
