will also be entertainment on the night

Plug! Right then, Cancer Research UK have been in touch about an event in Manchester next year and since it's for charity and since I know at least some of you will be in the area I promised to post something here:

• Shine is the charity’s first night-time walking marathon in Manchester on Friday 17 April 2010 and is open to anyone over 16 and entrants can choose to walk either a 13 or 26-mile route.

• Here is the route map: http://shine.cancerresearchuk.org/on-the-night/route-map

• The city will be illuminated for an inspirational procession of light. There will also be entertainment on the night to make the atmosphere at Shine even more unique.

• Shine is unique in that you can choose to fundraise for one of 12 different cancers, or you can walk to raise general funds for Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.

• The £30 entry fee will help fund vital research into a disease which affects one in three Brits at some stage in their lives.

• If you want to see who is talking about Shine or help raise awareness on Twitter then check out #shine2010

• You can also add a Twibbon to your Twitter page in support.

If people would like any more details they can also contact Cally at cally@yourshine.org.

Cally also asked me to post the following question:

‘Would you take part in this race, if not, how would you support the event in your own way?’

Good luck.
