My Story
In taking part in Race for Life 2017, we are sticking two fingers up to cancer. On Saturday 4th April 2015, Barbara Poulton - Tania's mum and Joanne's nan - died after losing her battle to lung cancer. Eight months later, on Thursday 10th December 2015, Barbara's sister also died. Then again, seven months later, on Wednesday 6th July 2016, their brother died. In the space of 15 months, cancer stole three much loved members of our family. We're taking part in Race for Life in remembrance of all three. ------------------------------- Tania and Joanne took part in the Race for Life 5k event, on a wet, rainy day in July 2014. This was one month after Barbara was told she was terminal, and she was very proud of us - especially as Tania suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This year, we're challenging ourselves in the 10k Race. It will be difficult for Tania, but worthwhile, as we'll be raising money for a charity that is close to our hearts. Thank you to everyone who sponsors us. Your donations, no matter how big or small, are greatly appreciated. ------------------------------- Cancer is happening right now, which is why we're taking part in a Race for Life 10k to raise money and save lives. 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 us now. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure.
