14th JULY UPDATE The Dales Darlings, with our honorary four-legged team member, Pixel, joined in the sea of pink running round the Stray on Sunday morning, and successfully completed our 5k Race for Life, crossing the finish line all together. Many, many thanks to everyone who has sponsored us. We are delighted to have raised significantly more than our original target x OUR STORY I suppose if you’d asked us back in March not one of us would have said we were runners, let alone capable of running 5K. But then Helen said she was doing the Couch to 5K programme and soon she was running 5k three times a week. Suitably inspired (but frankly a bit doubtful at first), we all thought we’d have a go – and to our great surprise we’ve all managed to complete Couch to 5K and are running regularly. So what better way to celebrate than by using our new-found fitness to raise money for cancer research. So if you’ve spotted us running round the dale in the rain and the mud, out of breath and probably bright red in the face (think tomato or beetroot here!) then we’d be really grateful if you could sponsor us. It doesn’t matter how small the amount – it all adds up, then we’ll know that all those early mornings and sore muscles have been worth it.
