Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives.
Our family lost a Mum and a sister both to lung cancer within 10 months of each other.
My dear sister was the very first person to sponsor me in May for my first race for life in July 2008. We didn’t know she had cancer until early June. She died 14 August 2008. Mum died 13 June 2009 - I couldn’t do it that year but I have done race for life every year since.

1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
