Time to go all in against cancer at Race for Life

Traitors winner Leanne Quigley and her partner Sophie and family

A Traitors star has urged locals to sign up for Ayrshire’s Race for Life event.

Leanne Quigley has given her backing to Cancer Research's Ayr event, which is set to take place on Sunday, June 28.

The event will see communities go ‘all in’ against cancer to raise funds for lifesaving research. Anyone who signs up in January can claim 30 per cent off the entry fee as part of a New Year sale by using the code RFL26NY.

Entries are open now for the Race for Life 3k, 5k and 10k events which take place at The Low Green, Ayr this summer. People of all ages and abilities are welcome.

Leanne Quigley took part in Race for Life with her fiancé Sophie Jones after Sophie was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2024. The couple led a team who raised more than £1,200 by completing a Pretty Muddy event last summeran emotional milestone which marked the end of almost a year of treatment.
