Race for Life 1

The Winchester Race for Life took place this weekend, with competitors running to raise money for charity - and local MP Steve Brine was on hand to fire the starting gun!

In the event’s 30th year, men, women and children remembered loved ones they have lost, celebrated survivors and did their bit to safeguard future generations by raising £25,000 for lifesaving research.

A parade of pink ran, jogged and walked the 3k and 5k routes around North Walls Recreation Ground.

Steve also handed out exclusive medals to participants, marking 30 years of Race for Life.

He said: "I've lost both my parents to cancer so the cause is close to my heart and this event is very important. 

"When you read the signs on people's backs to find out why they're taking part, it's a reminder that at the heart of the issue are the stories of how people are affected. Thankfully, there are stories of hope and of people living well with cancer. 

"Early detection is the key ingredient so we can treat the disease and allow people to live well after treatment."

Hampshire Chronicle column - Farewell

Thursday, 30 May, 2024
My final column is perhaps more reflective than usual but I hope you will forgive me as I prepare to formally step down as Parliament is formally Dissolved ahead of the General Election on July 4. Fourteen years ago, in May 2010, I was first elected as our MP.
