Story

So ...anyone who knows us knows that running is not our usual pastime but I had the idea just before my 50th birthday that I wanted to do 50 things I've never done before and here we are. I managed to rope in my amazing besties to join me and decided that the race for life was something I really wanted to do( also it's not that far) and it's an amazing cause. I'm sure we all know someone who has suffered this terrible disease and if doing this raises more awareness then it can only be a good thing. The effect it has on peoples lives really was brought home to me this last year when 3 people I know were diagnosed. I would like to dedicate our run to these people. Firstly a friends son who I've watched grow up since a young boy was last year diagnosed with Leukaemia. Not even 30 a young fit and healthy young man. He has been incredibly brave and was lucky enough to have a brother who was a 100 % match for a bone marrow transplant. Which he had last year. The operation went well and he is now in remission. We asked if he minded us telling his story. It then inspired 17 of his family members to also do the run which is amazing. We run for you Jack Marjot ❤ Another brave a dear friend has also endured a lengthy battle of his own to this terrible disease. Thankfully last year we all went out and celebrated him getting the all clear. Make way for the gay!! We run for you. Marc Pacifico ❤ And last but by no means least a lady who is battling everyday. A lady who I've lived on the same street as for the last 18 years or so. She is so kind and always wants to know how you are through everything she has been through. We have shared many times together. Xmas', New years, snow fights. Nights out, nights in. Happy and sad times. Playing games up the footie pitch by us. Glasses of wine me too many her always sensible. Well sometimes. Last year she was diagnosed and every day her bravery humbles me. Love you. We run for you Jo Schol ❤ Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life to raise money and save lives.
