Southampton 5k 2018

Sun 1 Jul 2018

People I care about are living with the realities of cancer or have died from it.

In memory of

Hazel Harris, Alan Harris and Kate Dunkley

My Story

I'm doing this for my dear friends Heather Nutbourne and Mike Carter who are still battling with cancer and my lovely friend Kate Dunkley who passed away recently from breast cancer, for my Uncle Alan Harris and of course my mum Hazel Harris (she's in the picture), who we have also lost to this dreadful illness. They are all special people and didn't deserve what they were given. So, for these special people, I challenge myself to run the race for life 5k. That might sound like an easy challenge. Some of my friends have taken on far more challenging ventures but for me this is my Everest. I'm normally quite active, walking to work every day and I love to ski. These things, which on the surface look easy for me, are quite a challenge. I work really hard at keeping myself mobile through daily yoga and controlling my weight. The last time I tried to run I almost immobilised myself because it brought on planter fasciitis along with stiffness in my right hip which manifests itself as lower back pain and weakness in my right knee. This has been a problem for nearly 30 years. Running, not walking this 5k is my challenge and doing it without causing any more problems will be a voyage of discovery. I really don't know if I can actually do it but I will try!
