I am doing this Race For Life on the 8th anniversary of my mums passing to cancer. She left us suddenly after such a short illness. So many family members and friends have been affected or battling cancer. Something needs to be done. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 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.
