DROITWICH Spa residents were among 4,000 women who took to the streets of Worcester last Sunday to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Elaine Taylor, of Lahn Drive, Rose Powell, of Wye Close, Sara Hicks-Jones, from Old Coach Road, and Katie Fisher, of Blackfriars Avenue, joined runners from across the county to run 5km in the Race for Life event.

The charity hopes to raise £200,000 from the Worcester event and £12m from races which took place nation wide.
