After being recently diagnosed this year with RA, I never thought I would be ale to run this years Race For Life, I was really upset because having gone from being a really sporty person,to being able to do hardly anything,I new that this was going to be an almost impossible task! However I just wanted to share with all of you that yesterday I power walked the Race for Life and I completed it in 43 minutes! I am very proud of myself for achieving what I thought was not going to be possible! Just wanted to shout about it!!.
