, Welcome to my 2nd Race for Life fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Last year I raised £206, above what I expected to receive so this year I have increased my target to add to the challenge.
Once again I am taking part with my friend and partner in crime Melanie Bath. Last year we walked for most of the 5km with a few jogging stints added in and completed the race in around 40 mins. This year I aim to run more of the distance and finish in a quicker time although I can't make promises due to weak knee muscles.
However I will be fitter than last year as I have now taken up Karate and hopefully my knees will be strong enough to take the pace. I'm also going to start jogging when the weather gets warmer and evenings lighter.
I'm racing again in memory of my Grandad and my Uncle Billy who were both taken from us before their time by this disease. I'm also racing for a friend of the family Jean who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Feel free to come and cheer us on in the 2.30pm race. Let's hope it's nicer weather this year!
Events like Race for Life are an important way in which Cancer Research UK is able to fund its life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you could help more people survive cancer.
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.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
