Wednesday 26th June marked the 18 year anniversary of my nana's death and to celebrate her life, my mother and I decided to run the 5k Race for Life in aid of cancer research.
The Race for Life is for women only and you can walk, jog or run the 5k in memory of someone you love or just to help raise money. It was so amazing to see how many young girls and women came out to support cancer research. And the best part was that everyone was wearing pink and some even wore fancy dress. It was brilliant!
When it came down to the actual run part, I thought that because I had only been training for 2 week, that I would jog it with my mum and her friend. But no. I decided to run the 5k with two of my good friends. What a mistake that was. I felt like I was about to die. But it was so worth it. I felt good about running it for my nana and all the other men and women out there who have cancer and are fighting to find a cause for this terrible disease.
I am definitely not going to stop with my running and most certainly am going to participate in this event every year! Here's the start of the race and I am on it even though I didn't even realise they were filming it.
