A great effort for deserving causes
"It really exceeded al my hopes and I’d really like to thank everyone who supported me, especially in such difficult financial times. It really is so much appreciated.
"I had lots of friends turning up to cheer me on and challenge me, including some former bowls team mates from years ago, who travelled up from"Red Rose Bowl made a donation and I’d like to thank everyone there for their backing, too.”Cheryl was diagnosed with breast cancer last November – purely by chance after she visited her GP about an abscess under an arm.
Since then, Cheryl has undergone six rounds of gruelling chemotherapy and 20 rounds of radiotherapy as well as surgery to remove the tumours but with them having been caught early, the prognosis now is good. Cheryl’s desire to help the three charities concerned is even greater because two members of her immediate family have also been diagnosed with cancer – her mum Sheila, with lung cancer, and her brother Vinny with cancer of the tongue."I just want to give something back after all the great care I and other members of the family. have received and I’m so pleased we could raise so much from what was a really memorable day,” she added.

Sex differences in human running performance: smaller gaps at shorter distances? | Journal of Applied PhysiologyHuman, but not canine or equine running performance, is significantly stratified by sex. The degree of stratification has obvious implications for classification and regulation in athletics. However, whether the widely cited sex difference of 10-12% applies equally to sprint and endurance running events is unknown. Here, different determining factors for sprint (ground force/body mass) vs. endurance performance (energy supply & demand) and existing trends, led us to hypothesize that sex performance differences for sprint running would increase with distance and be relatively small. We quantified sex performance differences using: 1) the race times of the world's fastest males and females (n=40 each) over a 15-year period (2003-2018) at nine standard racing distances (60-10,000m), and 2) the 10-meter segment times of male (n=14) and female (n=12) athletes in World Championship 100-meter finals. Between-sex performance time differences increased with sprint event distance [60m-8.6%, 100m-9.6%, 200m-11.0%, 400m-11.7%] and were smaller than the relatively-constant mean (12.4±0.3%) observed across the five longer events from 800-10,000 meters. Between-sex time differences for the 10-meter segments within the 100-meter dash event, increased throughout spanning 5.6% to 14.2% from the first to last segment. We conclude that sex differences in sprint running performance increase with race and running distance.
