MORE than 200 staff at Milton Park near Didcot went on a 5km lunchtime run to raise £1,200 for Cancer Research UK.

On Thursday business park owners MEPC organised the fundraiser for the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.

The run started and finished at the Innovation Centre on Park Drive.

Commercial director at MEPC Philip Campbell said: "We are so grateful to everyone who took part in our Stand Up To Cancer 5km run.

"It was a fantastic afternoon and together we have managed to raise over £1,200 with more still coming in on our Just Giving page, which will help researchers discover new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

“This is the second 5km run we have held this year at the park, the first being back in March for Sport Relief, which was just as successful.

"It is great to see so many people out running and raising money for such an excellent cause.

"The community spirit has been overwhelming and we will continue with more events like these at Milton Park."
