Story

Not to get too soppy, but in April 2019 I get the pleasure of taking part in a long awaited (potentially mentally and physically very painful) dream of mine to run the London Marathon. 

Being given a place to run on the Breast Cancer Care team is the cherry on top of this some might say nuts dream. What I’m really doing is running for our Mama, who had a tough time of it last year as she went through breast cancer and all that comes with it. Being the amazing woman that she is she has come out the other side, and her support and love for my sisters and I has never faltered even when times have been hard. 

Running 26.2 miles will not even scrape the surface of what she went through, but I’ll be running it for her and for all the other women who have been affected by breast cancer - being a family of girls boobs are very important to us and I’m sure you would all agree the world would be a very sad place without them or the people attached to them. 

I would be so grateful for any donations towards this worthy cause, and if you’ve got some spare time on 28th April 2019 and fancy a laugh come on down to see some very good runners and some average to poor runners doing it for the ones they love.

Love,
Lulu xx
