Paula Radcliffe and Nell McAndrew supported last year's Race for Life event at Battersea Park
Male cheerleaders will join Paula Radcliffe, Gloria Hunniford, David Cameron and more than 5,600 women for tomorrow's Race for Life event at Battersea Park.
The colourful 5k charity run is used by thousands of women as a way of keeping fit, while remembering a loved one - and raising money.
Since starting in Battersea in 1994 the Cancer Research event has grown nationwide into the UK's largest woman-only fundraiser - attracting three million runners and raising more than £200million in the process.
Becky Lomax, one of the event's organisers, said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing all participants.
"We have lots of activities on site and a great course.
"It will be a great event and very encouraging to see so many women pulling together to beat cancer."
