Thanks for clicking to read my story...

I'm training to run the half marathon in memory of my dear mother in law (Moo Moo) who sadly lost a very short and shocking battle with cancer last March 2014.  There's been plenty of 'if only's' since her passing, she was told in the January that she had cancer and just a few weeks later, was gone.  But 'if only's' wont bring her back.

As a family we know we're not alone in having to deal with such an ill fate and have many family and friends who have gone or are going through some upsetting and tough times brought on by Cancer.  So we want to continue to do what we can to fight against the horrid disease and support try and support others.

We continue to support CLIC Sargent the charity Moo Moo chose herself. 

As with all charities, they do a tremendous job and with Cancer being the culprit of our sadness we want to do what we can to support those who are dealing with it and in particular children and their families, this is what CLIC Sargent do.

On March 8th it will be a year since Moo Moo passed and although we never really want to 'celebrate' the day, we do want to acknowledge, remember  and continue to raise funds in her memory.  So thought about challenging ourselves...  

As fate would have it, a running festival in the next town to where Moo Moo lived is taking place on the 8th March.  So here lies our challenge.

There are a number of us in the team who have chosen differing distances.   I personally have chosen the 1/2 marathon, which is gonna be tough, as those running shoes have been gathering dust for a few months now, so please show your support to us all. 

Please donate if you can, any amount helps.  Though if you cant, please spread the word, send some motivation, or do something to help fight the big C.  You never think it will happen to you, but its truly taking too many wonderful people away!

Thanks for reading/supporting.
