Running is a strangely lush activity even if it is only a 5k run. I dread it beforehand, I wonder why I'm doing it at the time and then afterwards - I feel great. A bit pink - but still great.

This is the first time I'll have taken part in a charity run. Charity runs are one of the ways in which Cancer Research UK is able to fund its life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you could help more people survive cancer. So everyone's a winner.

Please sponsor me now - I'll be really pleased to have your support and so will Cancer Research UK.

All the best - Sarah

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me - Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, at least an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you when you tick the Gift Aid box.
