About This Item

Race For Life Travel bug

You may think this is just a Travel Bug with some beads on it... you are correct, but there is a little more to it.

The beads on the chain are a re-creation of the first 35 stripes of the DNA stripe cyclepath, which is part of the cycle path between Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Great Shelford. The path has a section that is decorated with 10,257 stripes in four colours, which represents the BRCA2 gene.

BRCA2 (the Breast Cancer Type 2 susceptibility protein) was discovered in 1995 at the Sanger Institute, just south of Cambridge, by Professor Michael Stratton and Dr Richard Wooster.
 
We launched this while we were preparing for the 2012 Race for Life.
As of 2017, the ladies in the family have now taken part in this six times between them, and this travel bug has travelled the equivalent of 14,359 ladies completing a Race For Life run.
