[ May 6th 2004 ]

Model Nell McAndrew jumped back into her running shoes last night to kick off a cancer charity run. Only weeks after completing the London marathon in an impressive three hours and 22 minutes, McAndrew led the way in the first Race For Life 2004. The 5km women-only run is one of 150 such races taking place around the country in aid of Cancer Research UK.

At least 8,000 women joined in last night’s fund-raising challenge. McAndrew was joined at the starting line in Battersea Park, south London, by former Olympian and TV presenter Sally Gunnell and model Normandie Keith. The organisers of Race For Life 2004 - which started in 1994 - hope to raise £20 million for Cancer Research UK.
