Thank you, have run 2 later today after football. Really really want to complete a marathon next year with a view to raising funds for cancer uk as my sister nearly died. Have many hurdles to conquer as i am an insulin dependant diabetic....

You are awesome and I admire your spirit. Good luck!

I did the Run For The Cure (maybe a Canadian thing?) and it made me so emotional each time I did it. So many survivors, a bunch of beautiful plucky ladies. One time I was just finishing the race when I passed a group of women that were finishing the much shorter walking route, one lady in their group who was obviously quite sick, turned to me and with such a big smile and told me to 'go, go, go!'. Some memories just stay with you.
