Hello everyone!

Would you ever believe it!?? Kel is actually doing the Great North Run!! I know, I know! I'm a nutter! And I can't run for toffee! But the thing is - I really am enjoying all this running around now! It was the Army boots and being shouted at that I could never get on with!

So I'm doing it all over again - and this time it's serious! 13.1 miles of pain, from Newcastle to....13.1 miles away!! And I'm going to run the distance!

And of course, there is a very good reason for all the blisters and painful muscles...over the past year I have seen one of my best friends fight through breast cancer and win, but I have also lost two very special people to cancer. Two of my best friends' mums are also battling cancer at the moment - so I am running for all of these lovely people. Sarah, Stella, Harry, Annabella and Yolande.

Now for the blerb....Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly Bristol Cancer Help Centre) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Please help me to raise some money for this little charity with a big heart!

With much love, as always
