WE AT World Cancer Research Fund are looking for a banana - but it's not just any kind of banana we are after.

We are looking for someone to dress in our giant banana costume as they take part in the British 10K run on July 6.

The evidence shows that eating fruit and vegetables probably reduces cancer risk, so what better way of getting the message across than racing round London dressed as a giant fruit?

So if you are up for the challenge, or even if you are already running the race but have not yet got a charity to support, give us a call on 020 7343 4200 or email british10km@wcrf.org
