MANY of the teaching staff from a Wanstead primary school will be taking part in a race to raise money for the fight against female cancers.

A total of 25 staff from Aldersbrook Primary will run in the Race for Life in Regent's Park on Saturday May 22, in their bid to raise a total of £1000 for the charity.

The school's head Alan Wright started off this year's fundraising back in March when he ran the London 10km Run in Newham.

The runners will be collecting in the playground before and after school in the week leading up to the race.
