Intamac Employees on the run for good causes

Company support dedicated staff as they raise money for charity

Employees from Intamac Systems, a Northampton-based company specialising in Internet-based Home Automation, are amongst thousands of women taking part in the Cancer Research UK Race for Life, this year.

Race for Life

Race for Life is the UK’s largest women-only fundraising event with more than 200 5-kilometer races taking place across the country. All money raised helps fund life-saving work dedicated to research into cancer and developing better ways to understand, prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.

According to Cancer Research UK, over 135,000 women are diagnosed with the life threatening disease cancer each year http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/incidence/commoncancers/?a=5441

In fact, one in three people within the UK will develop cancer at some point during their lives and with many people having already lost loved ones to the disease the life saving work of Cancer Research UK is made all the more important.
