READING

Read the article about raising money for charity. Five sentences have been
removed. Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (1–5).
There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

Race for Life

This was the first year I signed up to run this race with a few friends. They've all done it
before, but I believed, as a fairly unfit woman in my fifties, I wouldn't be able to run 10K. In
fact, Race for Life makes it easy for people to start improving their fitness and also raise
money for a great charity at the same time. 0 G

Cancer Research UK started these charity runs back in 1994. They used to be just for
women to take part in but recently they've been opened up to male participants too.
Basically, you register to join a Race for Life event in your area and you can either run as an
individual or in a group as we did. Most people know someone who has suffered from cancer
and when you register, you can fill in special card with the name of anyone you're especially
thinking of. 1 We chose the name 'Pam's gang' for our race group.
I did some fundraising when I was much younger but it was a laborious process. You used to
have to physically find sponsors and get them to sign a form to promise their money. Then,
after your sponsored event, you had to go and ask them for the cash. 2 So sometimes
you'd put in your own money if a sponsor was away on holiday or difficult to contact. Then
there was the hassle of trying to get them to pay you back later. Fortunately, everything is
done electronically now. 3 I was delighted to raise over £350 individually to go towards
our group total.
The race day itself was extremely well-organised. There are volunteer marshalls to give you
information, direct you around the course and generally cheer you on. 4 I was nervous as
I pinned my race number to my Race for Life T-shirt but as we set off in a sea of flamingo
pink, I found myself really enjoying the friendly crowd. You just go at your own pace and our
group had already agreed to stick together. I felt fairly comfortable for the first 5K. When you
get into the last few kilometres, there's so much encouragement to keep going that you never
feel like giving up.
5 Everyone is running for the same reason, which could be sad but the point is to raise
money for research to help prevent and treat cancer better in the future so actually the
atmosphere is very positive. My group raised £2,300 in total. We're very happy with our
achievement and hope to raise even more next time.

A In our case, we wanted to raise money in memory of Pamela Marshall, a wonderful

colleague who died of cancer in 2010.
B They even provided water because it was a hot day.
C You just set up your sponsorship page online and invite people you know via email or
social media to click and make a donation.
D There was usually a deadline for paying in your sponsorship money.
E I'll definitely do a Race for Life again as it was an incredible, fun experience.
F It was so difficult I almost gave up trying to register.
G You don't even have to run – plenty of people walk it.
