More than 5,600 women were cheered on by celebrities as they took part in Cancer Research's Race for Life yesterday.
Paula Radcliffe, Gloria Hunniford, David Cameron, male cheerleaders and a salsa dancer encouraged the participants as they made their way around Battersea Park.
The 5km run kicked off around 7.30pm.
Jane Bruccoleri, a journalist in our office, took part in the event for the second time last night.
"There was such a good atmosphere," she said. "It was a really warm night and I completed the course in about half an hour, walking and running some of the distance.
"It's a great event with everyone coming together to celebrate people who are surviving cancer and remember the lives that have been lost as a result of the disease."
Since starting in Battersea in 1994, the Race for Life event has grown nationwide into the UK's largest woman-only fundraiser - attracting three million runners and raising more than £200million for Cancer Research in the process.
