Race for life

A few weeks ago I appeared in some Leicestershire newspapers about doing the Cancer research race for life. I had not got round to actually signing up and asking people for some sponsor money. So seeing as I have been lying in bed getting over my last bout of chemo I thought I had better get on with it.

It will be on the 12th July 11AM at Western park, Leicester. I will do my damned hardest to run it but have no idea how I will be feeling by then. I don't think I could even run a mile normally but I have never trained for anything like this before. My level of fitness must be at a zero right now so not only will this race raise money for a great cause it will be a great excuse for me to get fit again, and boy do I need an excuse to do some exercise!

We all know cancer touches many of us. We have either been affected by it or know someone who has been. Therefore we know what a debilitating and frightening disease it is. Some people battle on for years and the disease sadly gets the better of them and some are lucky enough to fight it off and survive. Like me I'm sure the ones who do survive it completely changes their lives and brings many positives from it.

So please dig deep, get your spare change out of your pockets and from down your sofas and help a great cause by sponsoring me!

Here is the link to sponsor. Thank you.

I have to say apart from hating this photo I hate the colour pink too so will be making a statement by wearing my favourite colour, purple!!
