24 hours and counting!
On 7th February 2015, 7 makeup artists decided to take part in a Pretty Muddy 5k Race for Life on behalf of Cancer research.
111 days later, 7 turned into 5. Collectively, we have undergone approximately 70 hours of training, suffered aching knees, ankles and bums. Had disagreements with what promo pics to choose. Have had fun taking promo pics. Have sent 83 Twitter and Facebook notifications.
We set a goal to raise £1000. We've exceeded that and raised £1460. (Although we're hoping we can get a final push to take that to £2000).
With the money we have raised for Cancer Research and Breast cancer in particular. We have made a contribution that will hopefully cover the following:

With the money we have raised for Cancer Research and Breast cancer in particular. We have made a contribution that will hopefully cover the following:
- £10 could buy 300 glass slides for studying cells and tumour samples in detail under the microscope.
- £30 could buy around 250 plastic Petri dishes. They're an essential resource for thousands of scientists who are working hard to understand cancer.
- £54 could buy 22 thermometers (range -10°C to 110°C) – indispensable for many experiments that need to be performed at very precise temperatures.
- £94 could cover the cost for one woman to take part in a clinical trial aiming to improve survival for post-menopausal women with early-stage breast cancer.
- £123 could fund one cancer information nurse for a day. Our experienced cancer information nurses provide a confidential service for anyone with concerns about cancer.
- £260 could buy a sophisticated microarray; a powerful piece of technology, helping scientists to scrutinise thousands of genes in a single experiment, and identify which are switched on in cancer.
- £677 could cover the cost of one person taking part in a clinical trial testing chemotherapy before and after surgery, and the antibody drug Vectibix, to improve survival for bowel cancer patients.
- £900 could cover around 20 days running expenses for an important lab project into a type of children's cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. The study aims to identify molecules that are involved in driving tumour growth, and this could lead to improved treatments so that more children survive the disease in the future.
So thank you for following us on this journey and we hope to show you a video of our run, filled with muddy madness.
