Annie's Race for Life At Home
Race for Life at Home
Sat 24 Apr 2021 - Sun 25 Apr 2021
My uncles cancer treatment became postponed due to covid, we all waited until the day his treatment would presume. Thankfully it did but unfortunately the treatment was too much for his heart. We talked everyday and supported me throughout my pregnancy and the difficulties with having an ill baby all whilst being ill himself. He always gave his time and love and it’s the most precious thing anyone could ask for in life. He was a real solid influence in my life. Unfortunately in November 2020 we lost uncle Chris whilst he was receiving treatment at St Barts hospital in London. The hole he has left in our lives is huge and I miss him every day. I have decided to take on this 5K to help push myself out of comfort zone and finally not care as I run, wheeze and hobble past passerby’s with my mum tum jiggling in the wind. I am pushing myself both physically and mentally after being ill myself since giving birth and doing it all for my uncle Chris.
