Hopefully this is a very popular event so you are advised to enter as soon as possible. Once the event is full subsequent entrants will go on to a reserves list. Entry fees are £5 for individuals, £15 for teams and as it is a charity event we would ask that you invite your friends and family to sponsor you to take part in this personal challenge, with all our funds being donated to Cancer Research UK. www.cancerresearchuk.org

Supporters of Butterfly Events have been enjoying fun in Ayrshire, in aid of Cancer Research UK since 2007. Lorna Dempsey started fundraising following the death of a close friend to Breast Cancer. To date, our voluntary committee, have raised a fabulous £170,500, which is helping fund ongoing research into all types of Cancer in the UK. Butterfly Events aims are: - to organize fun, exciting, affordable events for everyday people whilst raising much needed funds for this fantastic charity and highlighting the importance of cancer awareness.
Cancer Research UK is the Worlds leading independent charity, dedicated to beating cancer through research. The charity will spend 80p from every £1 we raise directly on research into over 200 different types of cancer. We help fund over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses throughout the UK who investigate all aspects of cancer from sell growth to clinic trials with suffering patients. Cancer Research UK receives no government funding, so it is very important we continue our good work.
