Womens 10k 2008
The LCTU would like to say well done to two of its members after they successfully
completed the Liverpool Womens 10k. The run took part in Sefton Park on May 11th
on one of the most hottest days of the year so far. Over 2000 women took part in the
run raising around £50,000 for various charities.
The race even had a surprise celebrity turn up to start the 10K and 5K event. Gok Wan
of the Channel 4 Programme How To Look Good Naked was in Liverpool filming in the afternoon
and was kind enough to come along and get the race started
Taking part from the LCTU were Tracy Ball (Former ESPAC-Tplus Trial Support Officer), who completed the race in
1 hour 13 minutes and Liz Garner (Laboratory Technician) who run it in 1 hour and 35 minutes.
Also taking part from the Division of Surgery and Oncology were Edyta Niemczyk and Sarah Tonack who both completed
it in around 1 hour and 18 minutes.
Altogether our runners raised over £500 for Cancer Research UK.
