E-J's Race for Life
Leeds 5k 2018

I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner.
As many of you will know, I have just recovered from 2 operations in the last few months for thyroid cancer. I was lucky that it is very minor and low risk. Being on the cancer ward was eye opening. There are many people and children who are not as lucky. I'm starting to get my strength back and a way I want to do that is by doing a 5k with my friend and her two wonderful children. I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support through what has been a very difficult time. A couple of my family members have beaten cancer and I am also doing it for them.
