This year I found out that my gorgeous mum who I love to bits has cancer and my lovely step-mum also is fighting cancer. So this year I am running the Jane Tomlinson Run for All Leeds 10K on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support on top of two different Race for Life events. I have been doing Race for Life for 7 years.
Taking part is great fun, I really enjoy them; not only is it an opportunity to raise money for a good cause but the feeling you get when you cross the finish line is amazing. When you take part in the race and you see people's notes on their backs to show who they're racing for, all the family and friends people have lost, it makes you feel really proud to take part.
Charity events like this are an important way in which Macmillan Cancer Support is able to fund its work in providing practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care. By sponsoring me now you could help to make a real difference.
Wish me luck on the day!!
