Every year around 55,800 people are diagnosed with cancer in the South East. Money raised at Race for Life enables scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Broadcaster and DJ Adele Roberts, a cancer survivor herself, has launched the much-loved series of events for 2025.
After being successfully treated for bowel cancer in 2021, Adele now lives with a stoma, which she affectionately refers to as ‘Audrey.’ Just 18 months after completing surgery and chemotherapy, Adele set a Guinness World Record in London as the fastest woman to complete a marathon with an ileostomy. Now she’s on a mission to conquer all six World Major Marathons Berlin, Chicago, New York, Tokyo, Boston and London to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and the Attitude Mag Foundation.
She is inspired to Race for Life by her sister Lois Roberts.

Adele said: “I Race for Life because of my little sister Lois.
"Within the space of two years, my Auntie Ann had lost our Uncle Phil to cancer and then had to go through it herself- without her husband. Lois wanted to do Race for Life in tribute to Auntie Ann and Uncle Phil and to give back to the organisations that’d helped them. And she’s inspired me to do the same.”
Since it began in 1994, more than 10 million people have taken part in Race for Life, funding 30 years of progress.
