Just over a year we lost a close friend to cancer. Whilst he was ill he spent time in St Margarets Hospice where they looked are him amazingly and catered for his needs, and those of the family and friends who visited him.

I am an overweight 45 year old mum, who has never run in her life. I have Plantar fasciitis in both my feet and osteoarthritis in my knee but I am determined to run the 5k (maybe with a little walking on the way) to raise money for St Margaret's. I might even reduce the size of my backside on the way!
