To want to do a charitable organised 5k run that doesn't exclude men, and only supports cancer charities?

Cancer research is a worthy cause and all that, but I'm pretty appalled that there's no other charities seem to get a look in?

And you always have to wear bloody pink.

Also, it's been said but it's nothing to do with 'getting a look in', everything to do with the cost of organising an expensive event and the costs vs benefits of doing so. Charities make very careful decisions about how they raise funds and awareness.

If you're serious about giving to charity you wouldn't demand that they invest enormous amounts of staff time and money into putting on a special event for you. Why not go and volunteer for them, or set up a direct debit instead - much more valuable to the charity.
