I want to do the race for life but...

you have to pay to enter, a bit annoyed as I can't afford to do it, it used to be free, now it's £14.99 entry fee. The cause is cancer research which is very close to my heart after losing 3 people to cancer I would love to do it, just very dis heartened as to why you have to pay an entry fee to the organisers when you are raising money for charity? Sorry rant over lol.x

Don't you usually get sponsors for those kinds of things?  My friend is doing one for March of Dimes and I sponsored her to help her reach the goal she set to raise for them.

yep and you get your own webpage for the event to get sponsors but for some reason this year you have to pay an entry fee yourself.x

My nephews are doing the PanMass Challenge which is a two day bike ride across the state that raises money for cancer research. They both have to commit to raising $4300 each and whatever they don't raise they have to pay themselves.
