Thousands of women united to conquer cancer and Race for Life on Sunday.
A formidable army of mighty-mums, gutsy-grans, feisty friends and go-getting girls got together on Epsom Downs to take part in Cancer Research UK's fundraising series of 5k and 10k races, which can be run, jogged or walked.
Sam Beare, the event's manager, said: "I want to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in Race for Life, and their supporters, as well as our heroic volunteers.
"It was a fantastic day, full of emotion, courage, tears and laughter as over 3500 women joined forces to show cancer who's boss.
"Now I'm asking all the women who took part - and all the friends, family and colleagues who pledged to sponsor them - to transform their passion into progress by returning the money they've raised as soon as possible.
"Cancer Research UK doesn't receive any Government funding for its ground-breaking work. So every single individual contribution matters.
"It enables our researchers to help more men, women and children in Epsom survive this devastating disease.
"Many people don't realise that their entry fee only covers the cost of the event.
"It's the sponsorship money that really makes a difference.
"So, whatever the amount, we're asking everyone to make every effort to return their sponsorship money as soon as possible.
"It can be paid in online, by phone or by cheque."
