University of Salford-based KidsCan, a children’s cancer research centre, is offering places in the JD City of Salford 10K run next week at Salford Quays. The run starts at 9.30am on Sunday, 5 September at the Lowry Plaza and takes in local sites including the Imperial War Museum North and Manchester United FC. KidsCan is the only charity in the UK improving and researching new treatments for childhood cancers. With six teenagers being diagnosed with cancer every day and one in 500 children being diagnosed this year alone, the charity carries out vital work to improve their lives.
