York Knights rugby players Ronan Michael and Bailey Antrobus are raising money for Prew Crew Too, who are one of the teams taking part in Relay For Life York on July 29, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

On Wednesday (July 12), Knights Ronan and Bailey will be at The Great Yorkshire Show to meet fans and both will get their legs waxed on the day.

The stand will feature a York RLFC Fans Pop-Up Shop offering select lines of York RLFC merchandise for sale and guests will also have the opportunity to meet Knights players.

Relay For Life will take place at York RI opposite West Bank Park in Acomb on Saturday, July 29.

The event brings together teams of family and friends to fundraise for life-saving cancer research. Teams, cancer survivors and volunteers then unite as a community to honour everyone who has been affected by cancer and celebrate the money raised for research.

The festival is focused around a 24 hours relay where teams take it in turns to complete laps of the track all day and all night.

All the money raised will support Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research.

As previously reported by The Press, on the day, Bishopthorpe mum, Julie Blackburn, 51, who has secondary breast cancer, is helping to organise a carnival for Cancer Research UK and putting on lots of children’s activities including a mini disco as well as glitter faces, hair colours, a lucky dip and hook a duck.
