RELEASE
Diane, who is a customer liaison officer for NatWest Bank at Haydock, first made the run in 1999. But she wanted to do it again to help the 'Christie's' appeal as she has been successfully treated for breast cancer at Manchester's famous cancer centre.

About a dozen ran with them in the Blackpool event, supported by families, friends and workmates. Now that all the money is finally in Diane and Lorraine have been able to present a hefty cheque to Carl Sharpe, chairman of Christie's Wigan and Leigh supporters' group, together with their regular running friends Graham Aspey, Dave Blackledge and Paul Carr.
