Women run for charity
Thousands of women put their best feet forward to raise cash for cancer research at two fundraising races in Shropshire.
The money raised from the races will help support Cancer Research UK.
Since it started in 1994, Race for Life has grown to become the UK's biggest women-only fundraising event.
All of the money raised by participants helps fund the crucial work of Cancer Research UK - the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research.
So far, more than two million women of all ages have run, walked or jogged to raise more than £140 million in sponsorship.
This year organisers hope to raise £60 million for the charity's life-saving work.
On Saturday, the women taking part in the five kilometre event were encouraged by a group of male cheerleaders.
Nivea, associate sponsor of the Race for Life for the fifth year running, organised for the group to tour 100 Race for Life events across the UK as part of its Give a Big Hand campaign, which aims to raise an additional £27,000 for Cancer Research UK this year.
