Race for Life

I think it was back in May, Bxster announced that she was doing the Race for Life in July and offered to add my OH to the list of people she was running for. I was really touched by that and have now decided to do a Run for Life myself and eventually got round to signing up this week. I will now be running on the 1st July for all those we've lost over the years to cancer and to those that have beaten it, especially my OH who is now three years clear.

Thanks for all the inspiration you all provide on this great forum.

Thank you so much, I was quite emotional when I saw the email notification of your donation. The people on here are amazing, we mostly don't know each other but are so supportive of each other. I'll definitely let you know how I get on and as you know every penny counts in the fight against cancer.
