A New Malden curate will be among the thousands taking part in the fifth annual Race for Life in Battersea Park next month.

Sarah Robins-Cole, 29, of Motspur Park, took part in the race - in aid of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund - in 1996.

But this year she has rallied more than 25 of her clergy colleagues to take part in the all-women race. The flag goes up at 7.30pm on Wednesday, June 3.
