I've been going to do it for a few years, but I've finally taken the plunge. I've entered the Race For Life  The race that raises money for Cancer research. I'm doing it in memory of my mum who I miss so much. I've got while July to get fit and ready for it. You can walk or run. I'll just have to keep going to the Gym & get in tip top condition. Watch out I may be looking for sponsers. ;D |

WELL I DID IT!! ;D I have just participated in the Race for Life this morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to run all the way round so I power walked instead. It was a very emotional experience and it really brings it home to you just how many people cancer effects one way or another. Just reading the messages that were pinned on to the backs of the other women running or walking nearly had me in tears,  but it gave me the encouragement I needed to get to the finish line. It took me 45 minutes and my legs are killing me, but it was well worth the effort. ;D |

Did really well. When I collect all the money in, it should be around £250 ;D Got to wait until I get back to work in September before I can collect most of it.  |
