Dear friend

This October will mark the 25th anniversary of my mother's death from cancer when she was only 40 years old and I was 17 years old.  I have since had 3 children of my own and this has made me think increasingly about my mother and what we have all missed out on because of this terrible disease.

In her memory, I have decided to run in the Royal Parks half marathon on 7th October 2012 and will be raising money for Clic Sargent, which is a charity that helps children and young people who have been diagnosed with Cancer. 

The run is 20km, which I will be aiming to complete within 1hr and 50 minutes
