<p>It is just over 10 years since my Auntie (Pamela Mary Lorains)&nbsp;passed away&nbsp;after&nbsp;a long and brave fight against cancer.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Her four&nbsp;children/my cousins&nbsp;(Tom, Kate, Martha and Mary) and&nbsp;my Uncle Bill have continued to support&nbsp;and raise funds for the&nbsp;Blythe House Hospice in Chapel-en-le-Frith (<a href="http://www.blythehouse.info/">www.blythehouse.info/</a>), which provided an enormous amount of comfort and support for Auntie Pam and the family throughout her illness and continues to play an important and incredible role in supporting people with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.</p> <p>You will find some pictures attached from a sponsored fancy dress walk my cousins arranged before Christmas, where people were asked to dress as something beginning with "P" for Pamela.</p> <p>I am very keen to support the fundraising effort and the fantastic work done by the staff at the hospice and&nbsp;in a moment of madness, clearly thinking I was a lot fitter than it turns out I am, I decided to&nbsp;run the Wilmslow Half Marathon on Sunday 25 March 2012.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I need all the motivation I can get and I have an incredible amount of training to do just to ensure I can finish the race, so&nbsp;I would be&nbsp;enormously grateful if you could donate anything you can towards this great cause.&nbsp;</p> <p>Rest assured this will be the only sporting challenge I will be attempting for a very long time so please dig deep!</p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #52593f;">Blythe House Hospice, Chapel-en-le-Frith, </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #52593f;">The hospice offers free, individualised, holistic care and support for anyone&nbsp; living with cancer or other serious, life threatening illness.
