I've run this many times in the name and memory of friends but this year cancer has reared its ugly head much, much closer to home.  Although I'll be running for and raising money for Cancer Research UK, I'm hoping to raise awareness of the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer:

• B for bloating that is persistent and doesn't come and go
• E for eating less and feeling fuller
• A for abdominal pain
• T for telling your GP

I'm joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year. Please join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring me - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.
