I TOTALLY agree with Mrs James's letter about the Race For Life. Myself and my family have done every one of them and I was dismayed to find the event full when I tried to book for the 12 of us to do it.

When I got to work at Sainsbury's I found that our team also could not get places. They were very disappointed because last year they raised a lot of money for cancer research.

It would be brilliant if City of York Council could reconsider a second day, because it is a really good fun event which we look forward to enormously as well as the important issue of raising funds.

If they can do it for Ascot why not do it for York residents?

Why not write in if you feel strongly about it?

Mrs K Burton,

Fountayne Street, York.
