Story
We’ve all been touched by cancer, but in December 2017 we experienced the unimaginable and lost our friend Rea. Having fought leukaemia for almost 12 months, and well on her way to recovery, Rea suffered a serious set back and lost her fight suddenly. Her bravery and limitless positivity has inspired us all to live our lives to the full, and through Race for Life we want to continue her legacy and show strength together and for her family. It’ll be an emotional one, and some of us haven’t run even 1km in years, never mind 5km so we’ll need your support, but there’s no doubt we’ll have someone special there on the day shining down and supporting us too (she’ll probably be laughing at us not being able to breathe and looking very unglamorous, as well as being proud!). There’s no time to lose! Donate today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Donating through these pages is simple, fast and totally secure.
