Thank you for taking the time to look at my Race for Life sponsorship page. I have never run in my life. Eight weeks ago I started the C25K running programme so I could run 5K in the Race For Life. I have another week before I graduate.
Hard slog
My first 60 second run was sooo hard, but now I can manage 25 minutes with a lot of puffing as long as there are no hills!!!! My sisters are running with me, neither of whom had done any running before, both who are younger than me so probably much faster. My challenge is to finish the race with no walking.
Racing for my friend Jo
I am doing the Race For Life for my really good friend Jo Peppitt, a truly inspirational lady who is struggling to live with breast cancer. Despite this she's positive, always up for a laugh and a few glasses of wine, and a wonderful person to be around.
Jo displays immense courage every single day and I want to show her how brilliant we all think she is. Which is why I am donning a pair of running shorts, not a good look, and doing the Race For Life. Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you can help more people survive cancer.
Please sponsor me online - it's quick, easy and totally secure. Any amount is welcome - as pennies add up to pounds. If you can only afford 50p then please sponsor me that - I will be really grateful.
Gift Aid it!
If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating so that an extra 25%, plus a 3% supplement, can be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Every pound you donate really does make a difference - so please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support - Together we will beat cancer.
