A WOMAN'S fitness centre in Banbury is raising money to help find research into a cure for breast cancer.

Curves, in Parson's Street, is collecting donations for Cancer Research UK - and is offering a year's free membership to a breast cancer survivor.

Last year, members of the Banbury centre gave £750 to Cancer Research, and a donation from a charity founded by Gary Haven, the originator of Curves International, boosted the total to £1,321 Bob Brady, owner of Curves in Banbury, said: "In addition to collecting money we want to do something positive for a breast cancer survivor. We will be holding a lucky draw for a free one year membership of Curves and anyone can submit the name of a breast cancer survivor during October.

"The person submitting the name and the nominee will both receive a free week membership at Curves just for entering."

The draw will be held at 2pm on November 2.
