A GYM is teaming up with a social media training and management company to fight cancer at the Altrincham vs Cancer 2015 event on Thursday March 12.

Pure Gym Altrincham and Altrincham HQ Are co-ordinating 28 people running a relay for a combined total of 140km on behalf of local businesses.

Last year Altrincham vs. Cancer raised £2,144.50 for the Christie Hospital in Withington, and this year they hope to raise even more.

The Christie charity provides enhanced services over and above what the NHS funds for more than 40,000 cancer patients treated at the Withington hospital every year.
