What's my story - why do I run?  I'm clearly a woman designed for a little gentle yoga or a refreshing swim maybe, but not for pounding the pavement!  All that red-faced jiggling!

But run I shall, and on a Sunday morning too!

...Well, a few years ago I found a lump.  On it's discovery it and realising the possible implications, I fainted, straight out.  

Then followed two weeks of Not Knowing.  

Just a lump.  I was lucky?  Doesn't even cover it.  

"Why me?"- how many times have I said that, usually with an exasperated sigh (lost keys, forgotten umbrella, spilled milk...).

When I feel like throwing myself a pity party, I remind myself to ask "Why me? -How come I get to be one of the lucky ones?  How come my lump was only a lump?"  

I count my blessings and rememeber those who still fight, with grace and dignity and humour through pain and anger I can't begin to imagine.

Please give what you can; the cost of a Latte or a Pint would be perfect.
