AN ARMY of determined women Race for Life in Wadebridge this morning, united through the motto 'together we can beat cancer'.
The weather stayed dry for the event, which took place at the Royal Cornwall Show Ground.
More than 800 women took part in memory of friends and loved ones.
One of them was seven-year-old Emily Darby who lost her mum Libby to breast cancer about four years ago.
Emily, from St Mawgan, has so far raised a staggering £1,220 in sponsorship.
Her proud day Andy said: "In the last year she started seeing adverts for Race for Life on television and asked if she could take part.
"Obviously I couldn't because it's just for women so family friend Katherine Webster, her dauther Lauren and neice Connie formed a team for Emily and I would like to thank them all for that.
"Emily is a very determined little girl and, from what I've been told, she practically danced the whole way."
Sam Beare, Cancer Research UK's Event Manager for Wadebridge Race for Life said: "We had more than 800 ladies take part in Race for Life today and our thanks go to each and every one of them for making it such a joyous and memorable day.
"We would send a heartfealt plea that each lady returns their sponsorship money this year to bring in £50,000 between them.
"Every single lady makes a difference to our ultimate goal and beating cancer sooner. Well done ladies and thank you."
