This is my 7th race for life, I am taking part in two different events this year; Pontefract 5K for my gorgeous mum who I love to bits, who has just found out she has cancer, and Leeds 5K for my lovely step-mum who is currently fighting cancer. I am also running the Jane Tomlinson Run for all Leeds 10K on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Taking part in race for life is great fun, I really enjoy them; not only is it an opportunity to raise money for a good cause but the feeling you get when you cross the finish line is amazing. When you take part in the race and you see people's notes on their backs to show who they're racing for, all the family and friends people have lost, it makes you feel really proud to take part.
Race for life events are an important way in which Cancer Research is able to fund its life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer and by sponsoring me now you could help more people survive cancer.
Wish me luck on the day!!
