Why...the race for life...?

not sure if this is the right place but here we go:
Only just thought of this but why is the "race for life" only for women? it doesnt make sense to me, its completely missing out on the opportunity of earning millions of more pounds for a deserving charity...surely it would make more sense to open it to everyone?
Obviously cancer is a horrible thing that has touched many people, not just women...
does anyone know the reason why?
thanks :thumb:

There is also a 10k run which is different from R4L.
oh really? they may need to update their marketing then as everyone i've asked today couldn't answer me...
still even if it is for breast cancer can they be choosy enough to turn down donations raised by men? having said that there are plenty of men who suffer breast cancer...
i dont feel left out, i just feel its bloody odd in this day and age...
i dont want to do it! i give enough to charity as it is!! just out of curiosity
