Slimming World announces sponsorship of Race for Life
The UK’s leading weight-loss organisation Slimming World is excited to announce it is an official sponsor of Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life 2023.
Slimming World has been working with Cancer Research UK for nearly a decade. Together they have helped to raise more than £19m in fundraising through events such as the annual Big Slimming World Clothes Throw, as well as increasing awareness that maintaining a healthy weight improves health including the risk of developing some types of cancer.
We’re absolutely delighted to become an official sponsor of Race for Life. The sense of community, support and fun that defines Race for Life is exactly what our members love about their weekly Slimming World groups too.
Elise continues: "The positive power of people coming together to achieve a shared goal is something both Slimming World and Cancer Research firmly believe in.
“Our Body Magic physical activity support programme is all about encouraging our members to find ways of moving more that are fun and that they can enjoy at their own pace, so Race for Life is a great fit with our approach to exercise as well. We can’t wait to see just how much our members and Consultants can achieve.”
Gareth Mulcahy, head of events and sport at Cancer Research UK, says: “We are thrilled to welcome Slimming World as one of our new sponsors on the 30th year of Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life. Uniting people from all corners of the UK to fundraise, connect and celebrate their loved ones is what Race for Life is all about and we’re so excited to welcome anyone who may not have taken part in a Race for Life event through this new sponsorship.
“Every pound raised goes to fund our life-saving cancer research. Everyone and anyone can take part. Who will you Race for?”
Race for Life allows participants to take part in a 3k, 5k, 10k or Pretty Muddy to raise money for research into cancer.
