When my lovely friend and fitness colleague Nel asked me to help get a team together to take part in this event, in memory of her mum, Nancy who she sadly lost to leukaemia last year, I jumped straight to it & was overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm to join in, especially those who've not even taken on a 5k run in their lives.  In our team of 20 or so runners, we have complete novice runners as well as girls who love to run.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Nancy, but I know Nel well and she is one of the kindest people I know.  Nancy will be very proud of her daughter and her achievements and on this day, as we run through London, I'm sure she will be cheering us on.

Cancer seems to be affecting more and more people, young and old.  If it hasn't touched your life yet, it might do one day.  So if this charity resonates with you in anyway and you are able to make a donation we would greatly appreciate it.
