Like most people, I have lost people I love to cancer, and seen it affect the lives of others. Race for Life is vital in funding Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you can help more people survive cancer...

I completed this in under 40 minutes last year, accompanied by my best friends; Rachel Sollinger, Gemma Sykes and Yvonne Taylor - who each have their own reasons for wanting to complete this again. I am mostly running in memory of my Aunty Ann, a brilliant, selfless woman who lost her long fight to cancer in 2008.
