In 2012 we want more women raising more money for more triumphs against cancer. Take part in Southport at Victoria Park on Sunday 13th May or at Aintree Racecourse on Sunday June 24th.

Thieves frequently operate:
In car parks
Around bus stations
In overcrowded areas, especially at rush hour
In dark secluded areas
Be aware and keep your possessions safe:
Don't display expensive jewellery, mobile phones or cameras
Don’t make your mobile phone a moving target
Don’t tempt mobile phone thieves, be aware when making a call
Reduce the risk of mobile phone theft by following these simple tips:
When you leave a train or bus don’t use your phone immediately, leave it a while
Don’t walk and text at the same time; you will be less aware of what is happening around you
Keep calls in public places as brief as possible -- the longer you talk, the more likely you are to be spotted by a potential thief
