Race for Life is Cancer Research UK's flagship event, which brings together thousands of women each year to walk, jog or run 5km and raise money to beat cancer.

To date, four million women have raised over £240 million for Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.

The Hull Race for Life event, in which Diana is taking part, starts at 11am on Sunday 31 May in Hull's Costello Stadium.

Diana Johnson MP said: "Cancer has left gaps in the lives of virtually everyone you meet - and I am no exception.

"It is a pleasure to give a few hours to help Cancer Research UK in their vital work of advancing our ability to prevent and treat this disease.

"Anyone wanting to sponsor me can do so through my online fundraising page at www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/DianaJohnsonMP, or by writing to me at the House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA. It couldn't be easier!"
