Welcome to the Womens Cancer Challenge website

 It is hard to believe that this will be the fifth Womens Cancer Challenge. Over the last four years, the event has grown to be the biggest sporting participation event ever in the Outer Hebrides – thanks to you!  This year’s Womens Cancer Challenge takes place on Saturday 7^th May, starting at Lews Castle College at 12pm.

It is a day when women of all ages, shapes and sizes put their best foot forward in order to raise much needed funds to support the great work that the Lewis branch of Cancer Research UK do. Last year’s event raised over £10,000 taking the grand total to over £53,000!

You can pick up entry and sponsor forms at the Sports Centre and Sportsworld or print them directly from the web site.  They can be returned to the Sports Centre or posted to Tony Wade 3 Crowlista Isle of Lewis HS2 9JF.  We would ask that everybody gets their entry forms in as early as possible as it really does help with organisation on the day. T-shirts will hopefully be available from the Sports Centre shortly. If you need any further information, please call 822780.

One of our main objectives in starting the event was to encourage women to be more active. These types of lifestyle changes will be the biggest factor in reducing the toll that cancer takes of our community. It doesn’t matter if you run, run and walk or walk all the way; what matters is that you take part and get active. Why not get a group from your village or workplace together and make a day out of it??!!

Thanks so much to you all for getting involved – let’s make this year’s event bigger and better than ever!
