Northern Thunder Race for Life!
Mon 26 Jul 2010, 17:29
Northern Thunder players swapped their netball dresses for running shorts to take part in Oldham’s seventh annual Race for Life. Captain Karen Greig from the Superleague side completed the 5km charity challenge in Alexandra Park along with team-mates Rachel Henry and Kerry Almond.
They were joined by mascot Thunder Bear, who crossed the line in a respectable 40 minutes.
Nearly 2,000 women took part in Sunday’s event in aid of Cancer Research UK, with the Northern Thunder girls raising around £300 so far.
Northern Thunder Director Debbie Hallas commented: “The girls not only got some valuable pre-season training but also raised in excess of £300 for Cancer Research, they have a target of £500 and hope to reach this soon. Thunderbear had a good run out too and got some fantastic support around the course, and Thunderbear wants you to help us to reach our total for this excellent cause.”
