Celebrities support charity single

Race for Life supporters and a host of celebrities unite for charity record

Over 20 celebrities and hundreds of women from across the UK have lent their voices to re-record Cyndi Lauper's 1980s classic "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" to launch the Race for Life 2010 event series.

The track is led by DJ and singer, Sonique, who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The single will be released on 26 April to mark the start of Race for Life events and sold exclusively by official Race for Life partner, Tesco, and available to download on iTunes. All proceeds will go directly to Cancer Research UK.

Sonique, who is returning to the microphone for the first time since her diagnosis last June, is joined by a host of female celebrities including Coronation Street's Kym Marsh, actress Caroline Quentin, Big Brother star Nicola T, WAG Danielle Lloyd and the X-Factor's Lucie Jones. 

The track also features a number of inspirational women who have been personally affected by cancer. We've also been collecting contributions from women across the UK during our shopping centre tour over the last six weeks.
