Last July I lost a colleague and friend to Acute Myeloma Leukaemia.

Rachel was a strong, adventurous woman, she lived life to the fullest and experienced many amazing things throughout her life. She was an inspiration to all those who knew her.

Having never run before, I started running with a local Club in April. I had an aim of running in a race by the end of the year so I signed myself up to Cardiff Half Marathon. It was after signing myself up, that I thought it would be a lovely idea to run the race in memory of Rachel.

I hope the money that is raised will help raise awareness of AML and to improve diagnosis.
