Former contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race Ella Vaday, Kitty Scott-Claus and River Medway are among the UK Drag Queens showing their support for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life event series in partnership with Tesco. Ella is joining co-stars Kitty and River Medway, as well as Brighton Queen Scarlett Fever and London based Drag Queen Boss to highlight the inclusive spirit reflected at all Race for Life events up and down the country.
The launch comes as Ella shares that her mum Donna is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Rising to fame on series three of the popular show, Ella,33, said: “My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 and it was a huge shock for the whole family. I know first-hand how vitally important research is and that’s why I’m supporting Race for Life.
“The events are great fun, and everyone can get involved, whether it’s for friends, family or a couple of Queens, the money raised really does make a difference.”
