Well this will be my 3rd race for life and to be perfectly honest I wasn't sure I'd be around to do a 3rd one. When I first decided to do "race" for life it was primarily because of the "race" aspect. That appealed to the runner in me as running was the first thing I lost when I was diagnosed.

So I thought I could "run" a 5k, easily. In both 2010 and 2011 I did manage the do the "sprint" finish and so proud I was.

However, the cancer has been giving me a bit of a kicking just recently so I will be extremely lucky if I can make it around upright, walking.

But I am determined to do it as I have such a fantastic support group with me, all donning teal t-shirts. I have almost 3 months to train (which means being able to walk a whole 5K!!!)

So please give as much as you can afford because cancer research are coming out with new drugs all the time to try and beat this dreadful disease that strikes indiscriminately when you are least expecting it.

Lots of Love Tina.

PS Come and join me if you want a great day out or just come and wave at us. You'll easily spot us as we will be a "blob of teal in a sea of pink"
