Race for Life

This morning thousands of women will be congregating at Harlow town park to run or walk either 10k or 5k in the Cancer Research Race for Life.  There will be people who have cancer, people who have survived cancer or people who have lost family or friends to this awful disease.   

Thousands of women, all touched by this in some part of their life.  I took part three times in the past and it is such an emotional event when you look at that sea of people, all of whom have one thing in common - A personal reason to raise some money and find a cure.  I only ever jogged/walked the 5k route, but this year my daughter is running the 10k in memory of my lovely mum who died in December 1997. 

Good luck, my gorgeous girl
