RUNNERS taking part in this year's Great Manchester Run on Sunday, May 22nd, are being asked to consider raising money for world renowned cancer hospital Christies.

Last year almost 16,000 runners took part in the 10 kilometre race, raising an incredible £45,000 for treatment and research at the hospital.

This year will be the third Great Manchester Run and 20,000 people are expected to take part.
