This year me and my sis have decided to take action and get active together, as it can never be underestimated how many people will know someone or have been affected themselves by cancer. Astonishingly as many as 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Unfortunately sometimes this may be our nearest and dearest, family and friends, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life to raise money and help save lives. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work.

If you know anything about me and my sis - runners we are not - so this will be a huge achievement for us both! So any support (no matter how little) you provide will go a very, very long way.

Thank you so much
