Sophie's Race for Life
Watford Pretty Muddy 5k 2018
Sat 9 Jun 2018
In August 2017 I found out that my mum had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. This was my worst nightmare and my heart was broken. I was absolutely terrified. I never thought that cancer would hit so close to home but it really can affect anyone. After 9 months and A LOT of treatment my mum has been told that she is on her path to recovery which is the most amazing news. Without knowing my mum and seeing her throughout her treatment you would never be able to understand how truly incredible she has been throughout this whole process and I am immensely proud of her! Me and my friends are running the Cancer Research Race for Life Pretty Muddy in June to try and raise money for an amazing cause and to have fun in the face of cancer! I am sharing this in an attempt to ask you to donate but I also want to encourage people to just take part themselves. There are so many fun events, particularly during summer, to raise money for Cancer Research and I encourage you to take part!
