A CANCER awareness roadshow will be in town this week with the backing of the English football team.

The Cancer Care UK unit, funded by the England Footballers Foundation, is visiting Warrington Market on Wednesday offering free advice about early detection and how to avoid the disease.

Cancer Care UK has been chosen as the official charity of the England team this year, whose foundation has raised more than £1million for charity since its launch in 2007.

Free BMI tests will be on offer to assess healthy weight ranges, as well as useful information to take away.
