3 weeks to to go until the running trainers are back on for the London Winter 10k 🏃🏼‍♀️❄️🤩👟

This year its a really special one for 2 reasons -

1. It’s my 10th London Winter 10k 🤩

2. I’m running it with my amazing running buddy Cos, his 4th time 🤩 and also with my very special friend Lisa- it’s Lisas first London winter 10k event which she’s using as part of her training for the Manchester marathon as well may I add!!

A bit about us …

Cos and I have been running together for a few years now and during my treatment he really kept me going and kept my fitness up with running with me for which I’m truly grateful for - such an inspiring and positive 18 year old let me tell you and with a passion for fitness like me!

Lisa and I met virtually on Facebook back in October 2021 after my diagnosis on a Breast Cancer support group all about the inevitable hair loss that comes with chemotherapy - We are both avid runners and were asking how we manage our hair - priorities 😆 ! So as we both run alot we needed to know how best to wash our hair - sounds crazy right but trust us this was a priority in order to keep our fitness and spirits up (and clean hair!!) during a tough time ahead!!

It was from that simple conversation that we become the very best of friends and supported each other every day through our gruelling rounds of chemo, surgery and radiotherapy we both endured … and washing hair 😆 Having somebody who can relate to what you’re going through and be able to support one another just like we did has given us the most amazing bond and as they say something good comes out of something bad and that for me was our amazing friendship and ongoing support to one another ✨

So Lisa, Cos and I are running as a team - with no running times in mind just to enjoy this amazing run and hopefully raise some money 🙏🏼

Lisa and I are both thankfully cancer free and long may those annual mammograms continue to show clear results 🤞🏼

It was only after all all of the incredible and targeted treatment we had that that we got that all clear and that wouldn’t have been available to us without of the research that is carried out that gave us the amazing news after a long and tough journey

So I know it’s a huge ask in current times but if you are able to spare just a few pounds we would as ever be hugely grateful - THANK YOU 💖
