I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agreed with Professor Smith ('Make York a fit city', Letters, March 3). Many people need more exercise. As well as the Race for Life on May 11, Eborienteers is holding an orienteering event in York city centre (meet about 10.30am by the Esplanade car park).

So while the females in our family race for life, bring all the others to the event and map-read your way round the snickleways of York. For every one who comes along in this way, the club will donate £1 to Cancer Research UK.
