inspirational people who will be taking their 1st steps since their stroke,
and others who have challenged themselves to achieve new goals on the day.
Step out for Stroke is a fun walk for everyone, no matter what your age or
fitness level, it's the perfect event to take part in alongside friends and
family. It's a chance to raise vital funds for the Stroke Association, so every
step makes a difference, and we want Step out for Stroke 2016 to be our biggest
year yet.

The Dirty Dozen Bring Home
The Prize...
ON Saturday, 7 May 2016, Cancer got to feel the full fury of an army of women sick of it. Women of all ages who have lost loved ones, friends and family flooded Victoria Park, in Warrington, to take part in Cancer Research's Pretty Muddy 5K obstacle course. For those who don't know Pretty Muddy isn't a walk (or run) in the park. It's a muddy obstacle course that woman of all ages and ability can traverse; and that's exactly what the Nice 'n' Naughty Dirty Dozen have done. The 13 strong team, clad in pink Nice 'n'
Naughty t-shirts tramped through the mud, pulled themselves under nets and
laughed their way down a rather dirty slide to finish things off. Luckily the
weather was amazing on Saturday but their main reason for smiling was the
amazing support they received from everyone who helped to sponsor them; the
combined total of money raised by The Nice 'n' Naughty The Dirty Dozen was a
whopping £2377.24. "It was a great day and fun was had by
all. I just want to thank everyone who took the time to donate and wish me
well." She said covered in mud, "I'm just ready to get a shower
and a glass of wine!"
