The cuddly creatures were out in force – we love how confused so many commuters looked – to drum up support for the event, by offering ‘selfies’ and performing, en masse, the Cancer Slam.
Head of Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, Emma Hyatt, explained:
“Cancer has messed with one too many of us. But we’ve got something to tell cancer: we’re coming to get you... and we’ve brought gorillas!
![We don't think these commuters were expecting this...](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/lifestyle-legacy/fc/a100b/7c053/43280/0da9f/5b27a/ba900/GMAIN2_466x466.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
“We want all women from across the UK, regardless of their age, shape or fitness level, to join us and unite against cancer at Race for Life this summer. Every step taken and every pound raised at Race for Life will help to fund our life-saving research into all 200 types of cancer.”
Over the past 20 years, the race has raised over £526 million pounds for the charity!

This year, we’ll be entering a team into the race at Battersa Park and we’d LOVE to know if you’re runinng one too!
