Help boost charity’s running total
Runners are being urged to help people affected by cancer by signing up for this year’s Paisley 10k and Fun Run.
The Macmillan Cancer Support charity is the race’s official partner for the third year.
The popular event – sponsored by sports and outdoors retailer Decathlon – takes place on Sunday, August 20.
And people have started registering for the 10k race and shorter fun run, organised by Renfrewshire Leisure in conjunction with Renfrewshire Council.
Last year, almost 3,000 people raced around the streets of Paisley in the 10k and were quickly followed by hundreds of fun runners, many taking part to raise tens of thousands of pounds for their favourite charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support.
Laura Stockwell, Macmillan’s fundraising manager for Renfrewshire, said: “We are delighted to be the chosen charity partner for Renfrewshire Leisure’s Paisley 10k.
“No-one should have to face cancer alone and with support like this, they won’t have to.
“We are looking forward to working with Renfrewshire Leisure to make this event the best yet.”
Joyce McKellar, chief executive of Renfrewshire Leisure added “There are many good reasons for taking part in this year’s Paisley 10k and Fun Run and one of the most important is to raise money for a very worthy cause like Macmillan that helps people suffering and affected by cancer.”
