update, 3.7.05: I ran the Race For Life this afternoon - I managed to do 5km in 26 minutes despite the heat and having literally just stepped out of the car after driving back from a week's holiday in Wales... OK, enough with the excuses. I'm quite pleased with myself.
The event was very touching. I was moved to tears on more than one occasion. Thank you to all who sponsored me.
original message: I'll be doing this run in memory of Julia Darling (http://www.juliadarling.co.uk), a poet, novelist and playwright who died of breast cancer on 13th April 2005. I was lucky enough to meet her a few times, and she was an amazing woman. I recommend visiting her website and reading some of the tributes to this wonderful person.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support,
Clare
