PLANS are under way for this year's Pink Ribbon Run/Walk in aid of Cancer Research UK.
And organisers are hoping to attract 1,000 people to the event on Therfield Health on June 22.
Last year the walk/run raised £40,000 to add to the £21,000 raised in 2006.

The event will be open to men and women, and children. It will involve completing a three-mile course around the heath.
