Today, I completed my last training run. The past 12 weeks have been hard, as have the months of training leading up to them. Whilst there have been many times that I have thought about staying at home, the cold mornings and blisters are nothing in comparison to the challenges faced by those with cancer. 

Cancer has impacted on my own family. Mum died young. Like many families, we encountered family milestones without her but we think about her all of the time. My dad lost his wife, Val, to cancer just over a year ago. She is really missed by us all. Mum had a Marie Curie nurse. I still remember the kindness and compassion shown to us as a family during what was an awful time. 

The family has also been inspired by Aly. A total legend in every respect. She is doing really well and is a lesson for us all. She gives us all hope! 

I work with amazing people and so many have lost loved ones or have family members who have received treatment. I am also doing this for them. 

So, I ask that you might sponsor me on behalf of these inspirational  people. The people who nurse, those recovering and the people who we have lost. 

I really hope that finish next Sunday! Perhaps you might be kind and sponsor me for the training miles clocked up so far. 

Love 

Kate
