90km to go...


On Sunday 26th May I travelled to Surrey Sports Centre, Guildford to complete the first two runs in the 100km Race for Life challenge. A 5km run at 11am and another at 2pm. It was a great start to the campaign. There were around 4,000 participants running on the day. It was a sea of pink tutu’s , hats, wig etc. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes ran/jogged/walked in the event, each with a different story of how their lives had been affected by cancer. It was very humbling to read the tributes each runner wore on their backs. Running in memory loved ones they had lost , those who were still fighting and those who were strong enough to beat this terrible disease. So far 34 Southbankers have signed up to run with me and there is still time to sign up all information is on the Southbank donation page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/100k

Guildford x2 5km runs completed! 90km to go...
