Members of staff from the Cambridge Building Society's Histon, Ely, Cottenham and Grafton branches, along with their families and dogs, braved the wind and rain to take part in Cancer Research UK's River Cam Stride.

They raised hundreds of pounds for the charity, which is currently working hard to fund vital research into breast cancer.

The 10km route took in some of the River Cam's wide variety of wildlife, from dancing butterflies and summer warbles to wintering ducks. Despite the rain, there was a great atmosphere amongst the walkers, and many dressed in pink to show their support for the cause.

Gemma Cockbill, Mortgage Adviser for the Society's Histon branch said:

"The Society has been supporting Cancer Research's charity walks for a number of years now, and they are always great fun. Once again this year, everyone really enjoyed themselves and we are delighted to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause."
