Weaver Primary 'Race for Life 2025'

https://www.justgiving.com/page/weaver-primary-2025?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=015

Back in 2014, we held our very first charity race at Weaver in aid of Cancer Research – and we are delighted 
to announce that we are bringing it back!

That year, the children took part in a running event across various distances (depending on the child’s age)
whilst wearing lots of colourful accessories such as tutus, wigs and legwarmers. With the incredible support 
of our parents, we raised over £5,000 – a fantastic achievement we are extremely proud of. 

In the years that followed, we supported other charities, including the Donna Louise Trust and Cystic 
Fibrosis raising over £24,000 in total. 

This year, instead of our usual Sports Week, we are going to be holding a Race for Life event to support 
Cancer research once again. We would love for all children to take part - having fun, being active and 
raising money for a brilliant cause.

RACE DAY DETAILS

DATE: Monday 21st July
TIME: 1:30pm (gates open from 1:15pm)
LOCATION: School field

Parents and carers are warmly invited to come along and support the children. Feel free to bring picnic 
blankets and camping chairs to sit comfortably on as you cheer on our runners.

SPONSOR FORMS

We hope you’ll be able to help them collect lots of 
sponsors. It would be amazing if we could beat our 2014 total of £5,000.
‘Back signs’ are also coming home (signs that the children wear on the back of their tops, to say who they 
are racing for’) and these can be filled in and decorated at home. 

WHAT TO WEAR

An outfit that your child can safely run in. 
Race for Life colours are typically pink, so feel free to add pink accessorises – wigs, tutus, funny socks or 
hairbands. However, any accessories must be safe to run in. 
If pink isn’t available, other bright colours are welcome too!

advance for your support in helping us raise money for such an important cause.
