I've taken part in Race for Life since 1999 when I lost my Mum to cancer.

Since then, year on year, more friends & family have been affected by the disease.

Last November I lost one of my best friends who had been fighting cancer for 8 years.

As soon as Luke heard men could take part this year, he was texting saying 'lets do a 5k together mum', so here we are preparing to get down & dirty to help kick cancer's ass!

This year will be hard - 20 years since I lost Mum & getting through all the 'firsts' without Fran, so having Luke with me will make me stronger - #family - mum & son united

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.
